That isn't the way music is written.  He could use a first and second ending
but you don't use a final bar the way you describe.  It's an inappropriate
application of a print convention.  
    Feel free to skype me for clarification.

Kevin,
 
I understood from Ramy that all he wanted was to repeat the last x bars of
the song, right up to the final bar line. For that, he doesn't need any D.S.
al Segno. All he needs is a right-facing repeat bar  at the point where he
wants the repeat to begin. The final bar line fills the need for the
left-facing repeat.
 
Dave

Kevin:
 
I'm on my way to the gym but this is a quickie. You are partially correct in
that Dave's answer is not right. There are two standard ways to do this.
Using your method, at the measure where you want the person to start the
repeat you would place a "sign" the little S with the line and 2 dots. Then,
where you want them to go back you would write "D.S al Coda." The player
goes back to the sign and plays along until your coda symbol from which  he/
she jumps to the next coda symbol. The other way, which I would probably
lean toward, would be with 1st and 2nd ending symbols and they would usually
be 2 measures, even though you could do it with one. The way you described
it is also possible but you would have to write some directions along with
your 1st Coda sign. You could write "2nd X" next to the Coda sign or
something like that.
 
Hope this helps and Happy New Year.
 
Be Well,
 
Jimmy

Jimmy,
       This answer doesn't sound right.  It came from a blind guy to a
blind guy so I didn't trust it.  I would have done it differently.  Assuming
that the person was repeating a section once and that the last repeated bar
was the last bar of the piece, I would have:
1.  placed at least a repeat forward bar where the repeated section begins
and a repeat end bar where it ends.  However, I would have put a coda mark
one bar before the last bar of the repeated section and another coda sign in
a "duplicate" last bar after the backward repeat sign.  That last bar would
have the final bar on it.  Am I losing my mind?
Best,
Kevin

Just put a repeat forward (double bar with right-facing double dots) at the
beginning of the bar where you want the repeat to start. You don't need the
other repeat at the end because the final double bar line implies that it is

the other boundary of the repeat.
