I seek a way to split layout to always preset ratio. For example: horizontal 60% : 40%, vertical: 30%:70%

Either http://i3wm.org/docs/layout-saving.html is what you’re looking for, or you need to use the IPC interface to write a script which changes the sizes of existing windows.

You can sort of get what he's looking for with the IPC interface, but not exactly due to rounding. Limited to 200 characters, but I explained it in a question I asked (https://faq.i3wm.org/question/3882/px-vs-ppt-for-resize/). You won't be able to get an exact (e.g. 60/40) size split.
