You choose between C-x 2 and C-x 3
If you want to swap the meaning, you can do:
(global-set-key (kbd "C-x 2") 'split-window-horizontally)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-x 3") 'split-window-vertically)
instead, but it's easier to shift your finger over to the 3
I'd say.

You never feed me.
Perhaps I'll sleep on your face.
That will sure show you.

This might be what you are looking for:
`split-window-preferred-function'.

I think he means how to control automatic splitting. In Emacs 23
there's
,----[ C-h v split-window-preferred-function RET ]
| split-window-preferred-function's value is nil
|
| Documentation:
| Function used by `display-buffer' to split windows.
| If non-nil, a function called with a window as single argument
| supposed to split that window and return the new window. If the
| function returns nil the window is not split.
|
| If nil, `display-buffer' will split the window respecting the
| values of `split-height-threshold' and `split-width-threshold'.
|
| You can customize this variable.
|
| This variable was introduced, or its default value was changed, in
| version 23.1 of Emacs.

Bye,

I ever tried that, I put split-window-horizontally and
split-window-vertically 's combination with their parameters into
.emacs. And after startup, emacs splited to N windows.
Is it what you want?

This should do the trick until I upgrade to emacs 23.1

Hmm, I've been using something else (even though I am on an emacs
snapshot and I should have a customizable
`split-window-preferred-function'). I'm not sure yet whether my
approach has any advantages over the customization; if not, I'm inclined
to drop it.

Okay, this is really weird. First I tried disabling my advice and
customizing split-window-preferred-function to 'split-window-horizontally
instead. All heck broke loose: just trying to do tab completion in the
minibuffer would result in "Attempt to split minibuffer window" errors.
Then I removed the customization and left my advice disabled.
Everything worked exactly as it had seemed to with the advice
enabled. Beautiful!
Why is that weird, though? Well, I finally broke down and wrote that
advice because I had gotten tired of getting the wrong window splits
while using my current version of Emacs, *a CVS snapshot from earlier
this month*.
Hmm, (emacs-version) says:
"GNU Emacs 23.0.60.2 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.14.4) of 2009-01-05 on mcbain"
where is 23.1 and why does my snapshot have an earlier version number?
Thanks,

I don't think it exists yet. That's why Hugo wrote "until I can ...."
The 23.0.... whatever, suffixes are something like a beta version.
