Yes of course. Just click the minus button "-" to reduce the totalslots to 5, and then use Visualize Grid to place the 5th slot on the other screen.
Check the website FAQ for the win8/win10 fixes if you have trouble with multiple monitors

You could use the "Ignore Table" hotkey to put a table in the blank space, although this is not really what its meant for.

What about just playing in a normal left to right fashion?
2 3 4
5 1 6
Then most of your eye line will be in the upper half of the monitor

In full ring tournaments which I play alot of many people are playing extremely slow. I have many actions that are actually fairly easy preflop open decisions for me where I have a very strong idea of how I will react to preflop actions behind me but that table sits in my grid taking up space as I wait for all the other players to play out their actions. This is why in the past I was using my stack hotkey alot times to get those tables off my grid. This, plus all my fast folds cycling the stack often lead to me having the majority of my tables in the stack.
That's why I considering possibly removing my stack hotkey and seeing how it plays allowing those tables to sit in my grid. It's annoying to have a table and dead time of wait but at the same time the grid space is there and we will be playing a postflop pot on that table a reasonable amount of the time and it will avoid the issue of having a bunch of tables jump into my grid at the same time from the stack.
Ahh gotcha. Yeah in this situation, with tournament tables stalling, especially near the bubble, then you will have that dead time. But I think you're right to just leave the table in the grid. My initial reaction was to re-stack, but upon some more thought, I think leaving it in grid is better to avoid the situation youre talking about, with a bunch of tables moving out and creating more confusion

I don't want to be clicking a fast fold on the top table and then suddenly have the most urgent table jump to the top.
I think I'll do what you mentioned above and use a separate fold hotkey and a stack hotkey rather than a "fold and stack" hotkey.
Yes, the "Cycle stack" hotkeys will be a tad slower, because SaT has to calculate the order, instead of just blindly sending a table to the bottom. In both cases, of course if a table in the stack requires action, then it will pop over to the top of the stack. I mean, what would you prefer? To just leave that table somewhere underneath and not know about it? I think it has to pop up. If it doesn't pop up, then you'd be relying on the site's action sound, and then you'd have to scramble to the stack and cycle through it to find your table. If you have big decisions on tables in the grid, you may miss the table altogether.
Instead of clicking the Fast Fold button with your mouse, which yes might be prone to misclicks, what about using the SaT fold hotkey instead? Does that suffer from the misclicks?
But the problem here is, you're trying to play out of the stack, while the grid is full. This is always going to be a problem, because SaT is going to be bringing the stack tables up to the top, since there is no open grid slot for them to move to.
I'm not really sure of a good solution for you for this issue. Since you are playing Speed tables, you are going to be acting on tables that don't technically require action, but since they allow you to Fast Fold, they kinda always require action somewhat. I'd probably just move the tables to grid with a "Move table to next slot" hotkey and act on them in the grid rather than the stack. And then re-stack them when you feel like you need space.
