The features that have to be re-implemented are the routines to set up
the windows. Currently, you have to do that manually which works for
cases like the one you describe but I want to handle multiple side
windows on each frame.

That's precisely what "making W2 a left side window" would stand for.

I attach a simple file you can load from your .emacs. You then should
be able to create W2 via something like
(display-buffer
"SPEEDBAR"
'(display-buffer-in-side-window (side . left) (slot . 0)))
and tell me how it works. The sooner I get your feedback the sooner I
will be able to adapt the concept appropriately.
