Awesome WM - Different number of tags on each screen

I'm using two monitors and Awesome WM. Currently both screens show the same configuration, but I would like one of those screens to have only one tag (workspace), instead of 5.

Assuming I'm using the default rc.lua, can this be done easiliy?

Re: Awesome WM - Different number of tags on each screen

With the new Awesome 4.0, you could do like this

layouts = awful.layout.layouts
tags = {
  settings = {
    { names  = { "www", "editor", "mail", "im" },
      layout = { layouts[2], layouts[1], layouts[1], layouts[4] }
    },
    { names  = { "rss",  6, 7,  "media" },
      layout = { layouts[3], layouts[2], layouts[2], layouts[5] }
}}}
