It can be done but it's not trivial.

In your use case it might make sense to set `split-height-threshold' to
a smaller value so the "other" window gets split instead of reused.
Alternatively we could allow `temp-buffer-resize-mode' to resize a
window iff it was obtained by splitting a window before.
