I think he means how to control automatic splitting.  In Emacs 23
there's

,----[ C-h v split-window-preferred-function RET ]
| split-window-preferred-function's value is nil
| 
| Documentation:
| Function used by `display-buffer' to split windows.
| If non-nil, a function called with a window as single argument
| supposed to split that window and return the new window.  If the
| function returns nil the window is not split.
| 
| If nil, `display-buffer' will split the window respecting the
| values of `split-height-threshold' and `split-width-threshold'.
| 
| You can customize this variable.
| 
| This variable was introduced, or its default value was changed, in
| version 23.1 of Emacs.
