I don't think that's what the OP meant. He's looking for a single window
with 2 columns. Not 2 windows with 1 column each. The left column would
have lines 1 to N/2 and the right column would have lines N/2+1 to N. I
suppose the cursor would be located in the right column and as the window
buffer filled, the left column would scroll the top portion of the buffer.

I'm not sure this is possible, but it would be useful.
