The 'scrollopt' option lets you choose to bind vertical scrolling
(the default), horizontal scrolling, or both.

:e some_file
:set nowrap
:set scrollopt-=ver
:set scrollopt+=hor
:set scrollbind
:split

See

:help 'scrollopt'

I'm not sure I understand you. Vertical scrollbinding is the
default. Do you mean that you want something like this, where the
buffer is vertically split but each half has the column headers
above it, with the vertically-split windows vertically scrollbound
while the horizontally-split windows are horizontally scrollbound?

+---------+---------+
| headers | headers |
+---------+---------+
| | |
| body | body |
| | |
+---------+---------+

Unfortunately for this case, 'scrollopt' is a global option. You
can have all scrollbound windows scroll together horizontally or
vertically (or both), but you can't have some windows bound
horizontally while others are bound vertically.
