I am not sure whether you want to get 280 images of resolution 1000x1000,
or 10 images 7000x4000. Or maybe one 7000x40000 image weighting 1GB. :)
All these options do not seem very usable.

I don't think X has a way to access the image of unvisible windows.
In short, the unvisible virtual pages simply do not exist, they should
yet to be formed by X, fvwm and applications.
But you may create an fvwm function that does what you want, like:
GotoDesk 0
PipeRead `import -window root /tmp/desktop-0.png >/dev/null`
GotoDesk 1
PipeRead `import -window root /tmp/desktop-1.png >/dev/null`
GotoDesk 2
PipeRead `import -window root /tmp/desktop-2.png >/dev/null`
GotoDesk 3
PipeRead `import -window root /tmp/desktop-3.png >/dev/null`
If you have 10 desks of 7x4 pages, you will need to repeat GotoDeskAndPage
and import 280 times. It may take about 15 minutes or more to create all
screenshots. Note, that your fvwm will be unfunctional during this time.

Mikhael.
