Do you mean the section title displayed in the page header, or
do you actually mean adding a second Section title paragraph
on the next page? I assume the former, since the latter is
virtually impossible to automate without using tables...

You could use Running H/F variables defined as <$marker1> and
<$marker2> in your page headers/footers and then insert 
Running H/F markers containing the text ", Continued" and
"Continued on next page". This would work if you insert the
markers at the correct place in the text. But, you cannot
automate the insertion of these markers, and if the text
reflows you'd have to manually move the markers.

A problem is if you have a continued section at the top of
a page, and a new section beginning on the same page. Then
the page header would contain the new section title, but
still the text ", Continued". There is little you can do to
avoid this, if you use Running H/F variables and markers...
You basically cannot have it both ways, a continued title
as well as a new title displayed in the same page header.

You would also need to insert empty Running H/F markers at
the section headings to turn off the display of ", Continued"
since the <$marker> building blocks will pick up the latest
used marker, in the same way as <$paratext> does for paragraphs.

To summarize, you cannot fully automate this for reflowing text,
and the manual work needed is probably not worth it.
