It seems difficult to imagine anything faster than the Gimp-python
console for this:


image = gimp.image_list()[0] # get the latest loaded image

for y in (10,20,60,80, 120, 140, 260, 280):
    pdb.gimp_image_add_vguide (image, y)


It should be possible to make a Script-Fu which accepts a list of
coordinates (space separated) and does something similar to the loop
above.
However, I don't know how; I only know how to implement that in Python:

# assuming 'coords' is the string parameter containing space-separated
coordinates
realcoords = [int(v) for v in coords.split()]
for y in realcoords:
    pdb.gimp_image_add_vguide (image, y)

Adding an option to choose between adding h and v guides should also be easy.

There is a gimp plugin called multiple guides (python) and appears to be in german but it  will allow you to add multiple guides. I tried to access the link but it seems that gimpl plugin registry is down at the moment.
