I have been able to coerce VR3 into configurations like you described. To do it, I had to use the splitter bar context menu item toggle split direction/just this. Once in one of these other configurations, VR3 would toggle on and off in a consistent location, but when it was off the pane arrangement might jump into the previous configuration - this might not be what anyone wants. I'm not sure if VR3 can do anything about this since it is basically a layout matter, and I'm not even sure it's actually wrong.
At any rate, I have handled it by getting Leo - with VR3 off - into my preferred layout with the body pane right and the outline and Tabs panes sharing the left column. Then I saved this layout as body-pane-right using the splitter context menu. No matter what unusual situation I get the layouts into, I have (so far) always been able to restore what I want by loading my named layout, and then if necessary running the vr3-use-default-layout command. You could also save another layout named, say, vr3-right after you get the layout with VR3 that you like, and restoring that should always work.
