Thanks, I had missed that board somehow.
Well, the method works indeed but I hope someone makes a plugin as it's not
really straightforward.
If someone's interested here are the selection values
(left/top/width/height) for the entire cube (assuming the image size
is 256 x 256) :
front: -256 / -256 / 768 / 1024
right: -512 / -256 / 768 / 1024
back (flip vertically before use) : -256 / -768 / 768 / 1024
left: 0 / -256 / 768 / 1024
up: -256 / 0 / 768 / 1024
down: -256 / -512 / 768 / 1024

Once the images are cropped:
combine up/left/front/right
combine previous + down
combine previous + back

One remaining problem are the visible seams in the final image. I've been
able to remove them by turning off
the interpolation or by using gaussian blur but of course these solutions
are not 100% satisfying. Possibly there's a way to make the images overlap
so more tests are necessary.
