Do you have to clear immigration at TPE, since there are two separate tickets, or can you just go straight through transit?
You go straight through transit after landing at TPE. FYI you can get all your boarding passes at HKG with your bag checked just for the HKG-LHR-EDI leg. So all you are doing is just a quick TPE turnaround. Almost all the ground staff (at least at F section) are aware of such turnaround as many DMs are doing it day in day out.

At HKG check in, just give them both booking details and they'll sort you out
