He may mean multiple X screens. You can have multiple screens with a single video card (or even no card at all), some 
"real" and some virtual. VNC, for example, will create a virtual "screen" that's different from the main (usually ":0") 
screen.

The recent thread here about VNC mentioned X11VNC, which exports the main screen, instead of creating a new one, as most 
VNC servers do.

Usually an application will display on the screen connected to the X session it was started from. I think the OP wants a 
way to specify, on a per application basis, which X screen the app will display on.
