Don't wonder: You first have to save the window-list of the frame
including all windows' edges and identities. Next you have to create the
*Bar* window with the intended width and split the window on the right
in the way listed by the saved window-list, adjust the vertical dividers
proportionally to what you had before (there's always a chance that a
window drops below the minimum width now) and assign any window-local
overlays the identity of their new window. In addition there might be
dedicated windows and other window-local properties as well ...
I once struggled a lot with the much simpler problem of a window
configuration like
----------

|1| 2 |

I wanted to transform into
----------
|1| 2 |

| 3 |

If you come up with a solution to your problem I'd definitely want to
hear about it ;-)
