As of Rev 9655 (https://sourceforge.net/p/planeshift/code/9655/) it is now possible to have double rows / columns of Chat Tabs with spaces between them. (See image for example).
(http://www.george-parkinson.co.uk/ps/shot42.jpg)
How Does it Work?
The tabs need to be entered in a specific order.
For double horizontal tabs, they must be entered top left then bottom left continuing top then bottom from left to right (see table for ordered example).
| 1 | | | 3 | | | 5 | | | 7 | | | 9 |
| -- | + | -- | + | -- | + | -- | + | -- |
| 2 | | | 4 | | | 6 | | | 8 | | | 10 |
For Double vertical Tabs
They must be entered Top-left then top-right, continuing left to right work down.

If still unsure don't worry it will be in my darknight skin once code is in General release client.
