Yes, it is a cool thing to see several portions of a file side by side.
If it is not a requirement that these portions are without gaps or
overlaps, then vim already does that for me. Ctrl-w Ctrl-v ....

By doing the vertical split in vim I get one cursor per window (which often 
comes
handy), by doing the split in screen there would be only one cursor.
