Beyond your first window:

• Control + b then c to create a new window
• Control + b then n to next window
• Control + b then p to previous window
• Control + b then [0-9] move to window number
• Control + b then & to kill window

Custom:

• Control + b then m to switch to main-horizontal layout with the main window at 60% height.
