I'm assuming the OP wants a fixed layout, eg browser window full height on
the left, then two terminal windows stacked on the right.

Something like that is doable without a window manager, but the problem then
becomes how to switch focus from one window to another.  I don't think you
can do that without a window manager.

It's probably a case of carefully selecting a window manager that allows
launching of apps to particular sizes, and pinning of windows so they won't
move.  Or one that has a 'tile windows' function that tiles them into
approximately the right layout.
