Ah, OK. No, I don't have that problem either.

Splitting documents does help (I'm doing that, too), but it can indroduce  
new problems: If you have rferences across several part documents, that  
will give you an error message in the individual files, but the correct  
content in the global one. Which can change line and page breaks, and that  
can change the layout. Shouldn't be a problem but can become one. Also it  
took me a while to figure out how to have proper page breaks between  
single documents.
But then, it makes editing a lot easier, especially with many images.

In my experience, the problem starts with more than one image per  
paragraph and with more than half the page covered in images. But if you  
organize them in a table, that'll keep them together. Depending on whether  
the table also contains text, you could alternatively arrange them in LO  
draw and then copy/paste them into the writer document. Then it's really  
just one object, and that is easier to position than many small ones.
