I don't know if there is a simpler way to do this, but in GIMP I would open the first image, then use the canvas tool (Image --> Canvas Size) to double the canvas size, and move the original image to the left.

This is essentially what I had to do with a batch of very old 4x5 negatives and transparencies with an epson scanner that could only do a max size of 2 1/4 by 2 3/4 " at a time. I used GIMP to piece them together pixel to pixel and it worked marvelously.
