If you are using reasonably recent DSSSL modular stylesheets, openjade
and jadetex then you can use the characteristic
two-page-start-on-right?
which can either be true of false (#t or #f).
Probably putting the following in your driver file is the easiest way to
do it:
(declare-characteristic two-side-start-on-right?
"UNREGISTERED::OpenJade//Characteristic::two-side-start-on-right?"
#f)

You need to decide which elements in the markup describe/contain the
matter for the back cover. The produce some DSSSL to handle the markup -
and lay it out as you want (borrow heavily from the stuff that does the
front cover).

You would need to identify the DSSSL which produces the toc and lot
(they are probably separate simple-page-sequences) at the moment - and
produce in your "driver" a customised version which has them as a single
single-page-sequence. dbcompon.dsl is probably the place to start (or
whatever calls the functions in dbautoc.dsl).
