Do you want them to appear as Figures 1 to 16 (16 figures) or as Figures 1(a) to 1(p) (one figure with 16 subfigures), or Figures 1(a) to 2(h) (two figures each with eight subfigures)? Normally you should have some kind of captioning on both pages, regardless of you number the figures. Anyway, take a look at http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/subfig/ if you haven't already.
