We are leaving the area of automatic text processing and entering the
realms of a visual layout program.  It's OK to have an image centered,
since this can be certainly handled in a programmatical way (maybe
using a yet-to-be-written extension to groff), but multiple images
with overlapping vertical or horizontal distances...

It would be necessary to define a page layout independently of the
page contents, and groff's rather naive layout mechanism certainly
doesnt' support this yet.  I really doubt whether this makes any
sense.  Just think of inserting a few sentences!  Shall images be
anchored at the text and move?  Or should the positions stay fixed,
and the text flows around?
