AFAIK, there is no way to create styles in the RTF (maybe with the most recent
versions of openjade?)

No. This style is applied to the paragraph that you create.

My question is : do you really need styles in the RTF file, 
if you can define them in the stylesheet? 
Do you wish to modify the RTF files after they are generated?

You could define your style T1 in the stylesheet :

(define T1-style
    (style             lines: 'wrap
               heading-level: 1
            font-family-name: "Arial"
                   font-size: 16pt
                line-spacing: 16pt
                    quadding: 'start))

.../...

(element (container p)    ;; level 1 paragraph
  (make paragraph   use: T1i-style
    (process-children-trim)))

This is untested, but derived from one of my styelesheets.
