I don't thing the layout is inflexible. The problem is the OP wants to use a layout that only a very small minority want to use. That is short vertiocal video edited on a small single screen. If the OP used a second screen, turned to Portrait and the Resolve Cleen feed to it the problem would be solved.
I susspect that if Resolve put this new feature on their list of things to do, by the time they were in a position to do it (bearing in mind most other features requested are wanted by far more people) I think the requirement for editing verical video on a single small horizontal screen would have gone away.
Asside from the whole vertical /horizontal debate the OP's problem is he has added adidtional constraints of one small horizontal screen. With a second screen therer is not problem. With a large (27inch?) single screen there is no problem.
The problem is the screen the OP is using is inappropreatre for the format of video he is doing.
Bare in in mind that 99.999% of the viewers of these videos will be usuing 5 inch screens.
So get a scond screen for doing vertical video.
Or wait untill Resolve gets areound to adding a featire for a small minority of people.
(who probalby won't exist when they get to it)
