I am considering writing a player that will just play each stream in a separate window, and let the viewer figure out how to arrange them on their screen. given I know squat about writing a video player (I hear PyGame has a player and an event loop, so I am hoping I can fire up 2 players and send pause commands to both when the user hits pause.)

 You don't have to do that.  There are some easily available players
that can display two videos at the same time.  With different
resolutions, all multiplexed into _one_ file/stream.

 The one who told me about it said that the Matroska container
supported it (MPEG used in DVDs supports "angles", so Matroska
is not the only one) and that vlc could play it.  He said he
tested it, and vlc showed each video in its own window, in synch.

anyone have any better ideas?

 To avoid funky solutions you could pan and zoom with the
Compositor's to blow up the parts that have too small writing.
This means extra work, for sure.
