Chaining two displays for a longer board? #5

I've done this and it works perfectly. I have an extra LED panel and would like to chain it with the first to create a longer board (so full station names can be displayed). Right now each board when chained together shows the same content. Is there a simple way to add lines of code that would recognize the two boards as one 128x32 board?

I'll probably try this next. I actually already tried, and it wasn't as easy as extending the width. The high-level Matrix() class used in this doesn't allow you to set width parameter. And the methods (found using the Mu editor and interacting with the board's libraries) don't seem to match the documentation, but I'm also new to this. So we might have to re-factor and use lower-level calls like RGBMatrix and framebufferio
