While -density and -page are likely useful, you may need to specify
-geometry. I am not sure.

At any rate, LZW is certainly a possible factor.  You might see if
JPEG compression works well for your images.  Another choice is ZIP
compression. You can also try reducing the number of colors in your
images.

Not a lot.  ImageMagick writes raster PDFs (no text) using the
compression algorithm you specify.
