Answer 1

Strictly speaking, it's not possible. But, you could always use a second SplitContainer in one of the first SplitContainer's panel to obtain similar results.

It's an easy and quick solution, but you have to take into account that resizing the 'outer' Splitcontainer's splitter, results in a location shift of the 'inner' Splitcontainer's splitter as well. – Etzel

@Xilconic: If that is not the intended behaviour you can always set the FixedPanel of the inner split container to Panel1. – Enolaenormity

The comments actually have the interesting part of the answer, if you're trying to have two side panels and a central area that changes size when the panels are adjusted. Add a SplitContainer, then put a second SplitContainer in the right panel of the first. Select the second SplitContainer, and set Layout > FixedPanel to Panel2. Now, changing the size of the left panel doesn't change the size of the right panel. – Lantha

Answer 2

As specified earlier, yes you can use a second split or add 2 panels to the panel in question.
