Sounds like you're just running the Krfb GUI program, which will indeed only
share your existing screens, what you're supposed to do is type
"krfb-virtualmonitor --name WirelessDisplay --resolution 1920x1080 --password
pAsSwOrD --port 5900" in a terminal without the quotes (adjusting the
resolution, password and port as needed), press Enter, and then connect with
the VNC client on your other device. To be sure I just tested that command
again on my Arch Linux system with Plasma 6.3.2 and Krfb 24.12.3 and it does
create a virtual monitor separate from the existing screens.

Granted a GUI way to do it would be great so this bug report could be left open
for that I guess, or maybe a new report should be opened instead. I vaguely
remember KDE Connect having such an option somewhere but no idea how well that
works if it's there at all.
