Hmm.. The sections of my original are well contained, that is, subpaths don't cross the section boundaries, but the path object as a whole does.. So a full boolean operation isn't necessary.
The process I'm at is basically:
1. start with a color bitmap image arrange in a grid of font glyphs. 2. trace the bitmap into about 6 colors 3. chop the trace results into individual files 4. figure out default glyph dimensions and kerning 5. compile dimensions and individual svg files into opentype file that has an svg table
Still trying to find easy solutions for 3 and 4!

Hi Tom,
You could try the multi-division / multi-cut extension from this set to chop up your image. It won't export, though, only do the cutting (and it may take a while, so don't get impatient):

Is there an easy way to chop up an svg, like with the guillotine extension, but export to svg files, not png?
If a path object spans multiple sections, only the sub-paths within the section should be included in the output.
