I strongly discourage you from using <compatible-screens>. This was added (under duress) at the specific request of some game developers to be able to target specific combinations of screen sizes and densities. My feeling is that someone actually using this is sooner or later going to regret it.
If you want to specify different screen sizes, just use <supports-screens>. And really I would further strongly discourage doing multiple apks for different screen sizes. I think the writing on the wall is pretty obvious about the future problems you will have here: more and more companies showing devices with docking stations and other such things that result in the device's screen size changing radically. I wouldn't expect anything in the platform to magically make your two separate apks work correctly together on such devices.
