I think we disliked it because it is confusing.  Even I could not
get used to it.

No, anything below "/ 3" does not work.  The code divides the
window into a grid:

  +-----+----------+-----+
  |tl   |    top   |   tr|
  |     |          |     |
  +-----+----------+-----+
  |     |          |     |
  |left |          |right|
  |     |          |     |
  +-----+----------+-----+
  |     |          |     |
  |bl   |  bottom  |   br|
  +-----+----------+-----+

With "/ 2" the sectors near the edges are covered by the
corenerpieces:

  +----------++----------+
  |tl        ||        tr|
  |          ||          |
  |          ||          |
  +==========++==========+
  |          ||          |
  |          ||          |
  |bl        ||        br|
  +----------++----------+

The code may even generate a division by zero.  I guess what you
want is roughly this:

 tl      t     tr
  +---+----+---+
  |__  \  /  __|
 l|  \__\/__/  |r
  |__/  /\  \__|
  |    /  \    |
  +---+----+---+
 bl      b     br

Should not be too hard to write.

Probably a parameter.
