I suspect the same. VcxSrv has an option for multiple monitors. In
X2GoClient go to the settings menu at the top and change the xserver
setting to "I want to use an other X server". Normally VcxSrv is
preset. You can then extend the lower config line by "-multimonitor"
(or was it "-multimonitors"). Does ist work?

You can run VcxSrv /? from as cmd window. It will print the help to a
logfile and tell you where to find it. In the help you can find some
more options regarding screen sizes, maybe you can solve the problem
with them.

I do not have a windows machine with multiple monitors so I cannot test here.
