Here, try this:
(defun weird-window-configuration-please (&optional width)
"Split the frame into three windows.
The current buffer is placed in the middle, and the \"*scratch\"
buffer is placed on either side, with WIDTH columns. WIDTH is 80
by default, and can be specified by a prefix argument (C-u)."
(interactive (list (when current-prefix-arg
(prefix-numeric-value current-prefix-arg))))
(let ((buffer (current-buffer))
(scratch (get-buffer-create "*scratch*"))
(width (or width 80)))
(delete-other-windows)
(with-selected-window (split-window nil (- width) 'left)
(switch-to-buffer scratch))
(with-selected-window (split-window nil width 'right)
(switch-to-buffer scratch))))
