I doubt there are pages that lack any main content on a site though ;)

To be picky, what is being skipped (and what is the thing that is a
repeated element/block) here is the header/top navigation. You're
skipping that to get *to* the main content. So your initial question,
more aptly, would probably be "depends if the header/navigation is
repeated across the site".
