By TechCompare · Updated · How we check
A 34-inch ultrawide flanked by two vertical 24-inch wings fits a 160 cm (63-inch)63-inch (160 cm) desk, and the 80 cm (31.5-inch)31.5-inch (80 cm) depth keeps the viewing distance comfortable without monitor arms.

A 34-inch 21:9 ultrawide is about 79.4 cm (31.3 inches)31.3 inches (79.4 cm) wide, and each portrait 24-inch wing adds about 29.9 cm (11.8 inches)11.8 inches (29.9 cm) of width, for a total span of roughly 139.2 cm (54.8 inches)54.8 inches (139.2 cm). That fits a 160 cm (63-inch)63-inch (160 cm) desk with about 10 cm (4 inches)4 inches (10 cm) of clearance per side. Angle the wings inward at 20 degrees and the footprint compresses a little further, opening roughly 12 cm (5 inches)5 inches (12 cm) of side room.

How this is calculated
This mixed orientation layout pairs an ultrawide main workspace with two portrait wings for chat, terminals, or document views. The portrait 24-inch wings stand about 53.1 cm (20.9 inches)20.9 inches (53.1 cm) tall, which towers roughly 19.1 cm (7.5 inches)7.5 inches (19.1 cm) above the 34.0 cm (13.4-inch)13.4-inch (34.0 cm) tall ultrawide mounted at the same base level, so the wings rise well above the main panel unless you drop them on arms.
The two wings give you roughly 2160 lines of vertical resolution combined if they are 1080p, which is plenty for long code files.
Verdict
A 160 cm (63-inch)63-inch (160 cm) desk is the natural fit for a 34-inch ultrawide with two portrait 24-inch wings, and arms that drop the wing tops closer to the main panel keep the layout visually balanced. The 34-inch ultrawide at 79.4 cm (31.3 inches)31.3 inches (79.4 cm) wide plus two portrait 24-inch wings at 29.9 cm (11.8 inches)11.8 inches (29.9 cm) each spans about 139.2 cm (54.8 inches)54.8 inches (139.2 cm), leaving about 10 cm (4 inches)4 inches (10 cm) of side room per wing before angling. The two wings stand about 53.1 cm (20.9 inches)20.9 inches (53.1 cm) tall, which towers roughly 19.1 cm (7.5 inches)7.5 inches (19.1 cm) above the 34.0 cm (13.4-inch)13.4-inch (34.0 cm) ultrawide at the same base level.
The 80 cm (31.5-inch)31.5-inch (80 cm) depth does the comfort work: the ultrawide native stand consumes about 9-10 inches (23-25 cm) and the two 24-inch stands add about 13 inches (33 cm) of total footprint, but the keyboard surface still gets roughly 21 inches (53 cm) and the 27-inch (69 cm) viewing distance suits the 34-inch ultrawide. A VESA 100x100 arm for the ultrawide and VESA 100x100 or 75x75 arms for the two 24-inch wings restore the depth the three stands consume, which lets this layout run on a shallower 28-inch (71 cm) desk if you don't have 31.5 inches.
