Hmmm, from experience, I found it much easier and faster to scan the
pics properly/lined-up, then just crop them to separate them, than
trying to recover/rotate poorly positioned pics afterwards (with Gimp or
anything else).
Actually I even find that scanning the pics/photographs one by one is
faster and more convenient than fiddling with Gimp to generate separate
pics.

To save you time and hassle, my only advice would be to simply re-scan
all your pics, properly.
