Linked, Split screen scrolling for a single buffer?

Question

I would like to be able to have

Does something like this already exist?

I think what you are asking for is different enough from this that it's not a duplicate, but you should look at this, it might be good enough for you purposes, it doesn't do the n-line configuration you're taking about, but you can use it to open a file in two windows, use jump down a page in one buffer, enable this mode and then you have what you want I think. emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/288/… — Jordon Biondo, Jan 7, 2020 at 19:34
Thanks Jordon - I found follow-mode (which handles displaying a single buffer in multiple windows) from following your suggestion. Your link suggest scroll-all-mode which allows linked scrolling of different buffers. — Realraptor, Jan 9, 2020 at 10:43

The closest existing tool to what I have asked for is follow-mode:

Cliffs:

M-x follow-mode to trigger manually
(setq follow-auto t) to trigger automatically
C-c . 1 or M-x follow-delete-other-windows-and-split to maximise the current buffer in a two column format
