The commands:

.rs
.sp 1

should be part of the conditional on the line directly above:

.if !\\n[cov*rp-no]

`RP` normally reprints some cover page information on
page one. It makes sense to have an enlarged header then.
However, `RP no` does not reprint anything from
the cover page, and should not have an enlarged header.

I've included a diff of the standard s.tmac and my changes.
