It is the nature the program - it uses generic windows all children of
the same parent window.  These generic windows must be rectangular
pixel-wise.  Microsoft made a choice to force the window to the largest
rectangle where every portion is still visible, rather than he smallest
rectangle which encompasses one or more display devices.

There is nothing you can do currently to overcome this problem.  You
can, however, delve into the MSDN at microsoft and see if you can write
a display driver which would allow you to do this.

Or you can petition Microchip to make their application spawn windows
that are children of windows itself, instead of children of the main
application window.  In this way you can at least put your children on
different screens, instead of restricting them to the main window which
can only be on one screen, or spaced weirdly on two.

The last thing you can do is force the window larger by making sure it's
not maximized, then dragging the corners so it encompasses both screens,
which will allow you to put the child windows on either screen.

Unless, of course, you're willing to settle for setting both monitors at
the same resolution.
