I don't know, but I suspect that the framebuffer software that runs the
virtual consoles is not sophisticated enough to do what you want.
That "sophisticated" software "that runs the virtual consoles" with
multiple outputs is called X Window System, be it X11 or Wayland.
So if you ask the Linux kernel console to be the X Window System, well, it is, already!
Do you follow? :)
