Thanks, that makes it clearer to me. I would use the NarrowRegion plugin[1]. Make sure, it uses vertical split windows, (:let g:nrrw_rgn_vert = 1), set nowinfixwidth in each narrowed window (:set nowinfixwidth), resize each window to your desired width and diff each narrowed window (:diffthis). You can then interactively merge the differences (see :h copy-diff) and when finished, simply write the Narrowed window. Be sure to read the documentation of the plugin (:h NrrwRgn.txt) But then again, I am a little bit biased, as I am the author of the plugin and there might be better ways to do it.
