Try my steps from within the same tab. 

HPBEME:
If you want the vertical split layout to persist, you have to enable the checkbox under General/Advanced/Split Playing Now Vertically. Doing this will make will make the horizontal split the "temporary" layout, and the vertical layout will be the default. The very actions you describe will now always revert to the vertical split layout instead.

This is exactly the point I was trying to make in the beta thread - that having this setting actually makes it more confusing. If instead you simply shift-clicked the playing now tree node to toggle between horizontal and vertical layouts like I suggested, there would be zero confusion… a toggle is as simple as it gets and everyone would understand it immediately.  But I wave the white flag on this one.

It might even be a little more confusing for me because I want Playing Now1 to be vertical and Playing Now2 to be horizontal.

I use Playing Now1 for music which does not need very many columns displayed so vertical works, and Playing Now2 for video which needs a lot more metadata displayed and therefore must be horizontal.

HPBEME:
I agree that having multiple instances of PN tabs that behave completely independent of the others would be ideal. Mark has also requested that. I'm guessing that a fair amount of tinkering under the hood would be required to make that happen, which I presume is why it doesn't already behave that way.

lepa:
It would be more clear to me if vertical split either it sticks or don't not something between. Check mark in the options if needed at all could be just to set default split mode. Sticking doesn't matter for people who only use one zone but I bet many of us have different zones with different dsp settings for playing music, movies etc. I also have hoped and asked for independent playing now zones so e.g. audio, video and image zones could have their own column sets as desired columns I want to see differs quite much between media types.
