I think I have a way of doing this, if you want to split same category of posts over two "pages" 
You would have to cheat a bit with your cats, like the first 30 are "family photography-1" and the next 30 "family photopgraphy-2" or whatever you want to name the cats. I ran into a situation a bit like this so I came up with the idea of putting my summary blocks in a second blog page each category with its own post containing one summary block. You are using a drop down which can be linked directly to a blog post. I could do that but I choose to use an archive block which searches by subject, which is a category. The url of the post in the browser address bar changes depending on how they got there, content link, archive block, or post url. 
Like these, all go to the same place:
https://myrandomviews.com/storyarchive/category/Living+in+an+RV  from the seach block 
https://myrandomviews.com/storyarchive/livinginamotorhome  direct link to post. 
The advantage of using the direct link (the bottom one) to the post with that summary category  is I get the pagination at the bottom of that post. That direct link can be in a dropdown menu. 
It takes a bit of work but if your summary is on a page and you are using multiple pages for one category, you can make your own pagination at the bottom with  text links or buttons.
