Avoid frame sections that end up about 1 foot thick when the [standard]casements are joined up. IIRC, there are some slimmer sections which can be used to form narrower mullions (ie the vertical frame sections)
I dont think you can get away from wide 'joints' when the angle of the window changes, we have to get a screw jack in there and the windows cant be cut down ala wood at the back.
