I do not know how Nikon would do that any differently than OM. The only 
way to move the film back is to push the rewind button and rewind with 
the knob. There is no way I know of to do this very precisely.

The most accurate way I can think of at the moment is to mark the film 
leader where it sits against some part of the camera when loading it. 
Best spot would probably be where the drive sprocket goes through the 
holes in the film.

Then when finished with the first series of exposures, rewind the film 
until you feel it release from the take-up spool, open the back, line up 
the mark on the film leader with the camera as before, then be sure to 
take the same number of blank shots before making the second exposures. 
Registration accuracy still won't be perfect, but should be very good.

That way of doing it would work just the same with OM or Nikon, or with 
any brand of 35mm film SLR that I know of.
