Tim already showed how to open the two files in split windows by 
modifying the command above.


However, if one has already typed  gvim a b and then wants them all in 
separate split windows:


 :sba

will do the trick.  This produces horizontally split windows.  If you 
want vertically split ones:


 :vert sba

is what you want.

gvim -o a b

or, if you only want 3 windows, for N files (where N3), you can use

gvim -o 3 a b c d e f g h
