Not at all. If you have a sheet feeder just extract inserted illustrations and such out-of-sequence stuff (making a note of the page number on the back). Then feed the whole pile starting with page arabic "1" and go drink a coffee. If you are lucky and the feeder doesn't jam you just needs compare the filename of the last file with the last page number. If they jibe you are done.
Unless you care about the actual physical sequence, which you have just ignored.
Why? I have seen sheet feeders jam, I have seen feeders slurp in two pages at a time but I never seen a sheet feeder reorder the sequence of the pages I fed into it. Ergo: if I feed the pages in order starting with page 1 and file 1 and end up with page N and file N the files are in the correct physical sequence.
Manually scan the inserted illustration sheets and name the files according to the noted page number.
Tip-in illustrations generally do not have page numbers.
That is the reason why they get the page number of the preceding "true" page plus a number as suufix.
This discussion has long since become ridiculous.
Then push the ignore thread button on your reader instead of adding to it.
Trying to store anything but the physical sequence of the pages in the filename is an unnecessary complication, and probably short-sighted in the long run.
Why? You don't give any reasons besides personal preference. -- Marcello Perathoner webmaster@gutenberg.org
