I had forgotten about that. I vaguely remember running into that issue
working with some other HP disks, or .TDO images of HP disks. I
rebuilt a modified version of one of the ImageDisk tools from the
source code to work around the issue at the time. I don't remember the
details now.
Just found some notes on this from 5 years ago. At the time it was an
issue with TD02IMD.COM. For example TD02IMD.COM chokes on this disk
image with the "Cannot do mixed sector size within track" error:

I solved that at the time by modifying TD02IMD.COM to allow it to
simply discard the other sized sectors, which after taking a look
didn't appear to be necessary.
Any technical reason you used Teledisk instead of
ImageDisk? Can
Teledisk do something with these disks that ImageDisk cannot?
Imagedisk can't handle mixed sector sizes on a track.
