This was in the spec but hasn't been implemented yet. Basically just wt ; split-pane -% 30 cmd to open the Terminal with two panes, one that's 70% of the available size, and the other that's got 30%.

Or wt ; split-pane -% 30 cmd, split-pane -% 70 wsl for three panes, one with 70/30 split, and the 30 is then split into 30/70, kinda like:

Likewise, when using the wt command to open multiple split-panes at once, It'd be nice to automatically balance between those as default rather than going all Fibonacci
Current Default vs Proposed:

+--------------+      +--------------+
|              |      |              |
|              |      |              |
|              |      +--------------+
|              |      |              |
+--------------+  vs  |              |

@MagikEh That might be more possible once #6002 is implemented

FYI, PowerShell uses --% as a hint to stop parsing arguments to find variable substitutions etc. I know that's not the same as single hyphen -% but just so you know.

@oising That's part of the reason I actually ended up implementing this as --size,-s instead, because % is tricky like that 😝
