But with the same file?
A: 

You can do 2 columns, per file, I think that is the limit. See here and scroll down to the section "Viewing the Same File in a Split View"

Ok this was great to have 2 sections but what i really wanted to have was to split the same file and have it appear side by side not over/under even though that was great too.
Yeah I know what you mean, but Visual Studio only allows over/under splits of the same file, and only 2 panes at that. Unless we can somehow hack the IDE to open the same file twice... ;)
