   I've used hugin (in repo) to assemble panoramic photos with fair   
   success. I admit to failure the only time I tried to assemble document   
   scans as the OP is doing. But it might be worth a whirl; I didn't try   
   overly hard.   
      
   But using a phone is guaranteed to make the job harder because of   
   perspective. Either scan bits of the page on a flatbed, or use a camera   
   with a long lens.
