You could also export a single tab to a new window (or open a new window 
fresh), and manually size the two or tile them (depending upon your OS, 
this may or may not be easily accomplished; under OS/2 it's fairly simple).

This, of course, gives you two windows with two complete menus and two 
complete sets of toolbars and tab sessions, so it may or may not be what 
you're trying to accomplish.
