Hm, I'm not sure why opening your second document opens a second window.
Here is what I do to get a single window split into left and right panes:
1. Open LyX (which brings up the files I was working on the last time I
closed LyX)
- Like you, I have set this option in my preferences.
2. Hit Cmd-Shift-S to split the window vertically on the current
document.
- This is a shortcut I set up in my preferences.
3. If the second document I want was one of the ones that loaded, I
simply click on the tab for it and I'm done (perhaps optionally closing
other tabs).
4. Otherwise, File → Open to open the second document.
HTH.
