Hello Michael,

They are shot completely planar and all in exactly the same distance from a
plane holding the motive (but maybe some wide-angle distortion)

So the motive is completely planar and the camera moves relative to the object? That's not a problem, but be sure to optimise the translation parameters.

They will overlap by - say - 200 pixels in each direction. They will show
rather sharp contours (e.g. pencil lines)
It is essential that the result is a rectangle that is perfectly aligned
with the average angle of the components.

Up to rotation that should be the natural outcome. You can define horizontal and vertical lines to bias the optimisation towards that. Depending on the motive, and demands, maybe fiducial markers can be considered.

I found that it would be good to first stitch the many rows of four each,
and then stitch the column of the about 1000 resulting rectangles.

I don't see an immediate reason to split the project, unless you are running into hardware (memory) limitations. Otherwise I'd assume you're better off with a single project containing all photos.

Is this a viable ways to go ?
Should the (possible) wide range distortion be eliminated by some other
software before feeding the pictures to Hudin, or can Hudin  easily do this
on the fly  ?

Assuming you are always using the same lens, I would recommend to calibrate the lens / find the lens parameters and input them to hugin (including the field of view). You can also optimise the lens parameters together with the image positions but it's just more degrees of freedom, ie, takes longer to optimise and it's easier to get bad results.

best regards, lukas wirz
