Turning the LineStrings into a MiultiPolygon seems like the easiest
approach to me. You would do this by noding the linework (probably the
easiest way to do this is to union the linestrings), and then polygonizing
the result. As long as the topology of the lines isn't too funky (e.g. no
holes are created) you should wind up with a MP representing the area
between them, which you can then take the area of.
Please post some pictures and feedback if you try this!
