Does this behavior look reasonable? If not, what are the alternatives? Note that any alternative should be consistent about the fact that Emacs does not have a rigid line length, therefore any initial relative horizontal position of characters (before we split the window) is arbitrary, and is a function of the window's initial arbitrary width.
Eh, not saying it's a good alternative, maybe one could just _introduce_ a hard R2L paragraph start column setting, not coupled to window width /or L2R line length/, any more than fill-column being 70 stops particular L2R lines being longer than 70. In some cases, unwrapped long L2R lines might thus spill past the R2L start column.
...Probably pretty obnoxious...setting R2L start at max(render length of L2R lines given adequate space, or window width iff wrapping on)+C (C probably at or near 0) is not quite the same thing as a word-processor page-dimensions-based rigid length and could maybe work if that was known for the whole buffer, but as per other recent thread, emacs in particular probably doesn't have the luxury of such info in general.
