Hello Robin,
Your approach with chopping images and placing them in side-floats
should work. At least I remember a test file doing something similar.

From this PDF file I did not understand what the source FO was. It
looks more like a result of the 'table' approach. I think you should
post a link to the source files (with images) so that the community of
this mailing list could see them and probably help.

With the table you wont get a 'curved' left edge of the text, for the
tables are rectangular. Side floats should work.
