If choosing page size is an option, and there are only a few that are larger than a page, things may be much easier. Keep all of them in one page, and typeset. Note the ones that are larger than a page, and mark them using a differnt environment. That is, you decide which exercises should break and which should not.
This seems a good clarification.
3. Or a more drastic case, when the current page has only two lines and the text block is exactly one page long. Should the text split or not.
No.
This seems inconsistent with case 1. There the text was less than one page, but you want it to be split. In this case, the text is exactly one page, but you do not want it to be split?
I'm no longer so sure.
Is something like this acceptable:
if length < 1 page keep the whole thing together, even if it means ending the current page with lots of empty space.
if length > 1 page split whereever you want
o.k.
That would means, do a trial typesetting to find the length of the block, if length is less than one page put in a framedtext (which is just a highly customizable vbox) if length > 1 page, don't do anything and let it break pages anywhere. Just one more bit of information is needed. Do your exercises contain display math?
