It's a media query opt-in, I don't find particularly complicated to use. See examples here: https://github.com/foldable-devices/demos

How you would handle the physical hinge covering content with that proposal? Typically, when designing for dual screen or foldable in split mode, the idea when spanning is not to have your content be the width of the 2 (or n) screen because the hinge may cover content or the fold could create an interaction issue (think if the device is half folded). The screen estate being bigger and the expected interaction being different typically would require the developers to rethink the layout slightly. Matching the MQs make the developer think that there are now 2 segments of content that can be displayed and thus enable a new layout (often a two pane or reflow the current one to take the hinge into account). This is an opt-in which is good.
Microsoft put up some nice videos that showcase some new layout patterns. See https://www.youtube.com/user/surface/videos
