AFAIK, there is no such thing as a 'two page tiff'. Since there literally 
hundreds of tif formats, my assumption would be that two layers are being 
interpreted as pages by the 'originating' format, whereas gimp is 
interpreting them as single-space layers (i.e. superimposed).

None of my tools have that capability. .tifs, IME, are supposed to be 
'flat' images not capable of 'layers', so the problem could be with a 
non-standard .tif format on the originating side?

I would leave them as separate tifs if possible - less likely to break 
another tool when opening them.
