It's probably not that bad, since they are grayscale and
JPEG-compressed.  By the OP's desire to save as CCITT 1-bit, I infer
that they're probably document scans, so the JPEG/TIFF compression
would keep the file size down.

Since there's nothing in the procedure browser that seems to deal with
multipage TIFFs, I'm not sure GIMP can be scripted to deal with them
though.  Some time ago, I looked at extending what was exposed to the
procedure browser but I couldn't really make heads or tails of it.

Hmm - how about getting ImageMagick to just split the TIFFs into
individual files, then running the batch plug-in or your own script?
