Not sure stain is the correct product? The last wood stain I used left a coating on the wood which would've made it unsuitable for oiling.
Wood dye (Liberon do some) might be a better bet.
As for filling the gaps, you'll likely end up with a pine floor with stripes down it? It might look alright, but probably not any better than just leaving them as they are.
Would some pine strip wood cut (should be doable with a sharp knife) to fit and glued in work? Again, would probably be a ballache.
If you're oiling them, look at Fiddes oils as they come in a load of different colours, which might save you the hassle of dying them first.

I think one of the Osmo Polyx tinted oils we used on one floor turned out quite orangey/red, could've been the honey, or amber one.
