I don't think that it is possible to split windows, but I agree that 
this would be useful.  What I currently do is that I split the notebook 
into sections (in Mathematica 6, use the Window -> Show Toolbar command to show 
the toolbar, and insert cells of type Section).  A complete section can 
be collapsed using the handles on the right edge of the window.  If only 
those sections are open on which I am currently working, I do not need 
to scroll long distances in the notebook.
