I think you're slightly exaggerating here: the behavior you seem to want
(i.e. split vertically the smaller window, just because it happens to
be the LRU window and because the largest is not full-width), is pretty
far from "straightforward".
It was at least as magical as the current behavior.  It just happened to
work well in one of your cases, by accident.
