The plan here is that each monitor will have a separate display of the
windows on that monitor. So, on each monitor, the workspaces will have
the aspect ratio for that monitor. 

Once you do that, I don't think there's generally a big difference
whether you stack the first two workspaces horizontally or vertically -
while there is some unoccupied vertical space around the workspaces
area, there are plans for that space in the mockups - like showing
messages above the workspaces to give feedback and a chance to undo when
you've removed something from the favorites well.
