Despite using splitbottomskip and splittopskip, I cannot manage to have:

  • the frame on page 1 to go to the end of \textheight,
  • the text inside the frame on page 2 to start after a small vertical space.

I had a look at this post but it's suggesting to use splittopmargin which I'm already using (and seems to have no effect).

Then I'm back in the \vspace nightmare I would like to avoid.

I post everything so you have the whole thing. It's several files I gathered into one xelatex-compilable. I'm also willing to hear any comment you may have on other parts of the code as all this is quite new to me.

Solution: use tcolorbox instead of mdframed. Thank you @Ulrike for pointing out.

Description: after @Ulrike comment, I read parts of the tcolorbox documentation. This package appears to be astonishingly complete yet simple to use. The fact is that my frames behave as I expect throughout the pages. The paddings before and after page breaks are handled by the pad at break* parameter and the frame fills the page as much as it can.

The frames are now declared by:

\usepackage{tcolorbox}
\tcbuselibrary{breakable}
\tcbuselibrary{skins}

\tcbset{exercices/.style={%
    enhanced,
    before skip=50pt,
    breakable,
    top=20pt,
    title=Exercices,
    pad at break*=7pt,
    fonttitle=\large\bfseries,
    coltitle=white,
    colframe=OrangePen!40,
    colback=OrangePen!10,
    boxrule=1pt,
    attach boxed title to top left={xshift=10pt,yshift=-12pt,yshifttext=-1mm},
    boxed title style={%
        height=24pt,
        valign=center,
        colframe=OrangePen!80,
        colback=OrangePen!80
    }
}}

\newenvironment{exercices}{\begin{tcolorbox}[exercices]}{\end{tcolorbox}}

So the whole code becomes:
