Perfect… absolutely perfect. now you can maximize the massive empty space by hanging an in-sync 200% website. Now, I need a way to add more splits, can I still have way more space than just 200% length.

Divide, como prometido. Todavia, não permite que uma das divisões tenha independência na barra de rolagem, ou seja, uma vez dividida, ambas as barras funcionam conjuntamente. Seria interessante que as barras de rolagem fossem independentes.
