Moving the painting would, unless your lighting is perfectly uniform, involve moving the painting w.r.t. the lights, which might make a perfect stitch impossible.
I would (quite strongly) recommend a pano head, home made if need be. Given the lack of major 3d features on a painting it needn't be perfect. A home made one is probably only going to work for a fixed focal length though, which might be an issue with a zoom lens. In any case (speaking from experience) mosaic shooting brings is own quite nasty parallax issues. I experience much of this when doing my maps-in-an-archive shoot, recently. I would certainly do test shoots with a cheap poster, or something.
