You can use nested splitters, but it will look weird from a user's point of view. If you have several "grabbable" separators, the user will expect to change only the size of the left and right window of that sash. But with multiple nested sizers, it won't work that way.

Unfortunately there is no better solution in wxWidgets.

IOW: I'd try to avoid this.
Use the source, Luke!

lternatives to wxSplitterWindow
If you have a lot of “split” windows in your application, consider using
wxSashWindow
. This is a window that allows any of its edges to have a sash (as
specified by the application) that can be dragged to resize the window. The
actual content window is normally created by the application as a child of
wxSashWindow
.
