No, there deliberately isn't.  At that level, you really shouldn't be
creating distinct layouts -- I'd strongly encourage you to design a layout
that can resize appropriately to adjust for the screen.  (long is to
distinguish between HVGA and large screens like WVGA/FWVGA).

Larger picture, you really should avoiding having layouts for different
screen sizes as much as possible.  You can already see with the number of
sizes we have that this is just not scalable: QVGA, HVGA, WVGA (both med and
high density), FWVGA (both med and high density), and of course both
portrait and landscape versions of all of those.  And in the future you
should expect even more varieties (wider screens, larger screens, maybe even
smaller screens).

Also for a given size -- say FWVGA -- there is not a guarantee of exactly
how much space you may have.  For example a device may have a slightly
smaller or larger status bar that impacts the space you have.

And then if you are taking user input, there is the whole impact of the soft
keyboard being displayed and thus reducing the space available for your UI
during that time.

So we strongly encourage that developers make use of the dynamic layout
manager in the framework to design their UI to adjust for the exact space
they have available.
