No. C-x 5 2 would create a new "window tool" – a "frame" in GNU Emacs  
terminology – which can have a few windows or buffers/buffer views  
open. What you want to use is C-x 2: split-window-vertically. Above  
and below another separating mode-line you would see the same file  
and buffer contents but would be able to scroll independently, i.e.  
you would have two different views onto the same object.
