If they don't have to remain distinct, you could just make a new sketch that 
contains the other sketches' images (stick them on a solid-colored background 
and just do an image grab to make a new sketch).

If they can be arranged into a column or row, then you can use the existing 
support for table layouts.

Just put them in the correct relationship to each other, and do a shift-drag 
to select them both. Then choose 'place into a column' or 'place into a row' 
as appropriate.

You will get them both wrapped into an AlignmentMorph. Bring the new Morph's 
menu up and choose layout/table layout and uncheck 'rubber band cells'.

Now bring up the menus of each of the embedded morphs, and choose 
'layout/child layout/horizontal resizing/space fill' and/or 'layout/child 
layout/vertical resizing/space fill' as desired. Now when you scale the new 
(parent) morph the inner ones will be stretched in zero, one, or two 
dimensions as desired.

Note that you don't want "smooth image" turned on in the sketches.
