Probably there are tow ways to do this:

1) Add this to SANE2, that means, change the SANE standard. Do all the
   work in the backend. The fronetnd "only" selects and transmitts the
   regions of the single images. The backend calculates the real scan
   parameters and divides the scan data into single images.
   
2) All the work is done in the frontend. Should be possible, too. So
   the frontend scans only a big chunk of the image and divides it
   into smaller pieces.
   
Bye,
