|1|2|3|4|this one:
|1|2|
|3|4|?

Every window is drawn within a container. You can split a container vertically, then move the window next to it into the newly split container. Open four windows, split the first and second, and move the third and fourth into them as desired.
Just to sum up both answers: They are both working but there is a difference in the resulting layout tree:
- ynimous' solution (without window 5) creates a row-wise layout, ie. if you focus window 3 and execute a
focus parentyou get the row holding 3 and 4 - ANOKNUSA's solution creates a column-wise layout, that is by focusing window 3 and executing a
focus parentyou get the column with 1 and 3
Use whatever seems better to you. Personally I like the first approach better since it comes with less keyboard action (depending on which window you are starting in; worst case: 8 key combinations vs. 12)

One solution I found is:
focus 3
move down
splith
create new window (say 5)
focus 4
move down
close window 5Maybe there is another one which does not require opening a new window?
