It doesn't work like that. (Not on any OS I know that supports virtual
desktops.)

What you get it /n/ virtual instances of your screen layout. So, if
you have 2 physical screens & 4 v-desktops, then you get 4 virtual
instances of your dual-screen desktop: top left pair, top right pair,
bottom left pair, bottom right pair, for instance.

I don't know any way to make each physical monitor reflect a different
v-desktop & I am finding it hard to imagine the UI to it. I reckon it
would be a nightmare to try to use.

Configure your machine for dual head and then just use the
vdesktop-switching same as before. Both screens switch together. This
is simple and it works, believe me!
