you can add the following line of code to the configuration file
$HOME/.stumpwmrc:

(stumpwm: run-shell-command "xrandr --output HDMI-1 --auto --primary --output 
LVDS-1 --auto --right-of HDMI-1)

replace HDMI-1 (primary on the left)
and LVDS-1 (on the right)
with your own monitors

no problem: select a window on the second monitor and proceed
with "vsplit":

<ctrl + t>
the minibuffer appears to enter the command and type:
vsplit

you can define the size in pixels or change it with
<ctrl + t> <r>

to change the windows of a monitor, you will find everything in
the fantastic manual
