Wouldn't it be nice if you could have variable widths for your composite walls? Adjust the widths in wall settings instead of in Composites......
Anybody care to make a wish? (for AC11?)

I think what we really need is a unify wall comand, maybe I'm crazy.. but that just makes sense to me.

By combining them this way you could have walls with the same skins, but be able to set the thickness of particular skins individually for each wall if necessary instead of having to create another composite.
Not me. (I'm not sure what it would mean to vary the width of a composite? The skins presumably correspond to some actual materials. Which skin(s) would you thicken/shrink and how would that be interpretted?)
....
Again, I don't understand what variable widths could mean (or depths for slabs/roofs) in a real-material sense?

Another option would be for the windows/doors to be able to "span" two walls
