Your second rule is never being reached because of the greedy nature of the first. You can either put it above the first rule or make your first rule more specific.

Try the following:

RewriteRule ^v/(.+)/Page-(.+)\.html$ script.php?name=$1&number=$2 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^v/(.*)$ script.php?name=$1 [NC,L]

I think the problem might be your use of wildcards. If your .htaccess looks like this:

RewriteRule ^v/(.*)$ script.php?name=$1 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^v/(.*)/Page-(.*)\.html$ script.php?name=$1&number=$2 [NC,L]

then no pattern will ever reach the second argument because (.*)/Page-(.*)\.html will actually fall under (.*) first.

You could either refine your wildcards to something like this:

RewriteRule ^v/([A-Za-z0-9].*)$ script.php?name=$1 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^v/([A-Za-z0-9].*)/Page-([0-9].*)\.html$ script.php?name=$1&number=$2 [NC,L]

or maybe even try switching the order of your statements to:

RewriteRule ^v/(.*)/Page-(.*)\.html$ script.php?name=$1&number=$2 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^v/(.*)$ script.php?name=$1 [NC,L]
