No, unfortunately there isn't any method to fix your photographs. A multiple expousure is not a "composite" of two or more parts that can be separated. It forms a single, combined image within the film emulsion. Within the film emlusion and its chemical reactions to light, it's the same as a single exposure.

A friend of mine works in a photographic lab. He found a lady's film one time had been double exposed, so he didn't print them. When she came back for them a couple hours later, she screamed at him, that it was his fault, that he had stuck another roll of film onto her one, and that she was going to sue, because those photos were once in a life time photos or something.

(Aside from the fact that she was the one at fault, Australian law limits liability to the processing fee, and a replacment film. It's also impossible to stick film together accidentally, because each roll of film is taped to a large plastic header, and the machine will not grip, if there are two rolls of film on the header)

I was in the background, trying very hard not to laugh at her.
