My guess is that if one really and truly wants a 3x1 and a 1x1
the effect could be got by running two instances of the server.
Yes. Or you can run the one server with two "screens", eg :10.0 and :10.1;
there's a reason for that trailing ".0" on $DISPLAY!
I'm not at all sure how to do that and I expect
having separate instances would cause its own problems,
e.g. no dragging a window between them.
Yes, that doesn't work. You do want just 1 "screen" to drag windows between
them.
IIRC if one has a single display and multiple screens,
whether and how one can drag between them depends
on the desktop running on top of the server.
My recollection is that in ancient days, one could,
at least with some desktops, move windows between screens.
In ancient days, it was ordinary for me to build the server with imake.
In ancient days, the desktops were called window managers.
In ancient days, IIRC, there were no multi-monitor screens,
so dragging between monitors required dragging between screens.
A given "screen" is a big rectangle, and each monitor shows a rectangle of
that larger space. Anything you do has to accomodate that constraint.
