The help for split-window-horizontally (I did describe-bindings) is below.

The word 'lines' at the end of the line below should be 'columns'.

    SIZE negative means the right window gets -SIZE lines.

Version info:

    GNU Emacs 23.1.1 (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu)

Regards

****
split-window-horizontally is an interactive compiled Lisp function.

It is bound to C-x 3.

(split-window-horizontally &optional SIZE)

Split selected window into two windows side by side.
The selected window becomes the left one and gets SIZE columns.
SIZE negative means the right window gets -SIZE lines.

SIZE includes the width of the window's scroll bar; if there are
no scroll bars, it includes the width of the divider column to
the window's right, if any.  SIZE omitted or nil means split
window equally.

The selected window remains selected.  Return the new window.
