While I agree Inset can be used to create more complex graphics
and I am glad code I've posted here has been found useful, the
effect of having a common Y axis with a broken X-axis can be
done more simply as follows:

Grid@{{Plot[Sin[2 x], {x, 0, 4}, PlotRange -> {-1.1, 1.1},
     AxesOrigin -> {0, 0}],
    Style[Rotate["\[TildeTilde]", 90 Degree], 20],
    Plot[Cos[2 x], {x, 6, 10}, PlotRange -> {-1.1, 1.1},
     Axes -> {True, False}]}}
