Then you'll want multiple views.. it has been implemented in Verse, but
not vanilla Blender. Quite a bit of work. If you have xinerama and GL
cooperating nicely, an ugly way to fake it would be putting blender over
all screens with appropriate subdivisions.

Well, those are Euler coordinates. The problem with that is you can't
rotate them nicely around an arbitrary axis. Perhaps reading the matrix,
multiplying that with a rotation matrix, then converting that back to
euler could give you satisfactory results.
