Not sure I quite get it, but I have some weird requirements for my screen real estate too and I use something called MaxTo. It definitely isn't exactly what you are looking for, but it may be an option if a better one doesn't pop up.
It basically allows you to create "quadrants" on the desktop and open up windows within them.
