Terminal multiplexer for differently sized windows

I'm using tmux as my terminal multiplexer. Is there an alternative that handles multiple synced windows of different sizes?

My Usecase:

I'm developing in vscode. I use the small embedded terminal to issue commands and want to read the output on a second, bigger screen. Attaching a tmux session won't work because the attached session window is as small as the original.

Re: Terminal multiplexer for differently sized windows

A simple solution would be to not try to get a multiplexer to do this, but just use a fifo and tee and tail: run tail -f on the fifo in the large viewing window and just append append "| tee -a /path/to/fifo" to the commands in your embedded terminal.
