Specifically, an element divided equally into two parts (like per
fess, per pale, per bend, ...), quarterly, or per saltire, can use two
colors.

No, there's such a thing as field-primary armory without charges at
all.  My own arms are

Per chevron embattled argent and azure.

Not a charge on there.  It can be great early-period style.  The
problem is our conflict rules, although SENA loosened them up.

For "Per saltire gules and sable" and "Per saltire sable and gules":
consider

Bj{o,}rn inn h{a'}vi
The following badge associated with this name was registered in
June of 2012 (via Atlantia):
Per saltire arrondi sable and gules.

I'd have to check precedents, but last I remember "arrondi" wasn't
granted a difference, so that would conflict with both proposals
(identity with the sable and gules, 1 DC for reversing the tinctures
for gules and sable).

I looked in Field Only in the Ordinary
( http://oanda.sca.org/oanda_desc.cgi?p=FO )
I don't see a Field Primary category, unfortunately.
It looks like "Per pale" is blocked, for one.
