A quick script later, bound to a shortcut key, and I was literally able to hit that keystroke and all of them would pop up in the exact order and positioning that was set for each window. That way I could launch, basically, 8 instances of MPV, VLC, etc and they would all line up at the exact points they were designated to. Something I did once upon a time on a Linux system was set up shortcuts to a video player that would launch that video player to exact parameters of the screen.
