The export to PDF is utterly irrelevant. PDF has support for multi-column objects, which is what you're exporting. You have TWO images, not one, that you are trying to export together, forcing them to keep the same appearance (distance between, etc.) that they have in the Word file. You might be able to get that to work for a single reader, or, say, all the readers using a certain rendering engine--but it's going to fail in most.
Whether or not it's "practical" is also utterly irrelevant. Converting them to PNG or SVG--all together, in a single image--is the only way you're going to get this to work. And be advised, depending on whether or not you have MOBI as a target, as well, that using SVG probably won't work, inline, for the millions of KF7 devices still out there.
This is why books like this are quoted with rather high prices at eBook conversion houses like mine. It's an horrendous amount of manual labor, generally speaking. Toxaris's MathML export is likely your only available "shortcut." And yes, that means that you're going to have to replace the ones in the ePUB output with the SVGs from the Word-->MathML-->PNG-->SVG process. More tedious manual labor.
