I think the first issue to address is providing the user useful
feedback.

The first thing I noticed was that both of my screens were detected
correctly, but when I set the option to use them independently it seemed
to complete giving no indication of a problem. I'd like to see a clear
error message returned when I try to disable cloned mode, and have the
UI remain in the original state.

Even better, it should be possible to detected the current virtual size
and anticipate the problem. For example, if the user reorients the
screens so they are vertically stacked, and the Virtual setting is not
tall enough, the "cloned" mode option should become disabled, along with
a message indicating the reason and some direction on how to resolve it.

At least then, people aren't left wondering...
