I found `:tabl` which will take me to last tab. So I come up with
opening first 2 panes in starting window as:

$ vim -O2 dir1/L1.md dir2/A1.md

And for opening next 2 panes in new tab after the first tab, first I
opened one file using tab sp and then going to that tab using tabl,
and then vertical splitting second file from dir2. The final command
looked like this:

$ vim -O2 dir1/L1.md dir2/A1.md -c "tab sp dir1/L2.md" -c "tabl" -c "vsp
dir2/A2.md"

It works for me. And I can generate that command in shell script.

Can there be some improvement upon this?
