just create black and white thresholded .ppm files, and then you can
compress multiple pages into one .jbig2 file with the jbig2 tool, e. g.
by this Makefile entry:

jb2enc.jb2:     jb2enc1.ppm jb2enc2.ppm
        jbig2 -s jb2enc1.ppm jb2enc2.ppm > $@

then the pdfTeX primitives

\pdfximage page 1 {jb2enc.jb2} \pdfrefximage \pdflastximage
\pdfximage page 2 {jb2enc.jb2} \pdfrefximage \pdflastximage

should include both graphics. Similar with \includegraphics for
pdfLaTeX.
