There's yet another new variable called `window-splits'. That variable
allows to steal space from other windows when splitting, so you can
"split" windows which are otherwise too small. Now if `window-nest' is
non-nil, `window-splits' has no effect.

No. Resizing an internal window with two child windows usually resizes
_both_ child windows proportionally (usually so, because edge dragging
behaves different from other forms of resizing).

Then you know more than me. Resizing a live window can resize all other
windows on the same frame. Adjusting the edge of a live window can be
different from enlarging that window. In addition, the nest and splits
status of the window affect the outcome as well. All I know is that
when I resize a window in a certain way, I can live with the result, or
not. In the latter case, I try to fix the behavior. But I gave up
understanding what happens some time ago.

A vertical combination is slightly more than a parent window. It
encompasses number and sizes of the parent's child windows too, which
can be retrieved only by looking at these child windows. Also, a
vertical combination can be the parent of 2 or more internal windows, or
live and internal windows.

... which is hard to explain, I know.
