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?
