You're right, there isn't. One solution might be to put something
like this in your ~/.vimrc:
au VimEnter * if &columns > 80 | rightb vnew | wincmd p | vert resize 80 |
endif
If you open Vim in a window wider than 80 columns, it will
automatically open a new window on the right such that the left
window is 80 columns wide.
