Craig Bradney has talked about this very thing -- for the future.

For now, you might try this:
Use pdftk to break up the PDF and put into a separate directory. Then 
you can use on of the scripts in the wiki:

http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/Automatic_import_of_images:_Versions_not_requiring_Tkinter

There are two scripts, for different sizes of paper, but more 
importantly for two different kinds of layouts. I think there are enough 
hints in the scripts to suggest how to modify to your own purposes.
