TIFF is based on file-offsets, so the data could be located anywhere, as 
are the IFD's, which
are linked-lists in the file.  I recommend using the "libtiff" software 
libraries at  www.libtiff.org,
in which you can create multipage TIFF simply by using the libtiff API 
to write each image,
separated by calls to TIFFWriteDirectory() to start the next TIFF image 
in the file.
