https://discuss.kde.org/ would be the best place.

Oh yes I see, I misinterpreted how scrolling would then behave.

With a two rows with three columns:

| 1.jpg | 3.jpg  | 5.jpg |
| 2.jpg | 4.jpg  | 6.jpg |

After a scroll would be:

| 2.jpg | 4.jpg  | 6.jpg |
| 3.jpg | 5.jpg  | 7.jpg |

Is that what you'd expect ?

Then I can see the purpose, and that seems ok.

Dolphin also has split view, where you can display the same folder at different
points.

That sounds over-confident to me.

The idea is interesting but the use-case kind of small.
Still wider screens are getting more popular.
