If you are already inside vim, you can either manually run ":split
<file1>", ":split <file2>" .. OR
    :bufdo split (Close those you do not want)

One nice tip here is that, once you place your buffers in vim to your
taste, you can run the command:
    :mksession <session-file>
..to save those windows placement. Later run
    :source <session-file>
..to restore the view. That is a huge time saver sometimes.

Either use:
    $ vim -p <file1> <file2> ..
..or inside vime:
    :tabe <file1>

:help tabedit
