I found that it is possible to reference specific pages on Google Books items using &lpg=PA???&pg=PA??? after the ?id= part of the url where ??? is the page number, e.g. https://books.google.de/books?id=1VUJAAAAQAAJ&lpg=PA352&pg=PA352#v=onepage&q&f=false for page 352.
We could use these in the mets.xml <mets:fileGrp USE="IMG"> section rather than https://books.google.de/books?id=1VUJAAAAQAAJ#page=352.
But, unfortunately, either way, iiuc it is not currently possible to persistently reference the Google Books PDF directly, so users will have to manually download the PDFs.
