I used to work in such a "vertical" environment and I then had this in
my .emacs:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defadvice switch-to-buffer-other-window (around change-split activate)
  (let ((display-buffer-prefer-horizontal-split nil))
    ad-do-it))

(ad-deactivate 'switch-to-buffer-other-window)

(defun my-display-buffer (buffer &optional not-this-window frame)
  (if (one-window-p)
      (let ((window (split-window-horizontally)))
	(set-window-buffer window buffer)
	window)
    (let (display-buffer-function)
      (display-buffer buffer not-this-window frame))))

(setq display-buffer-function 'my-display-buffer)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I'm not sure will suit all your needs but I hope this is a first step.

Regards,
