Different Grid Scales on the Same Page

Hello! This is a question about the grid scale on pages. I wanted to ask if it was possible to set up a dividing line on a page so that one half of the page reads the grid spaces as a different length than the other. For context (if it helps) my campaign is heavily pirate themed, and so ships/ship battles will be prevalent throughout, and I wanted to know if I could set up a single page to show both the ocean around the ship tokens, and also have the in depth ship maps on the side. That way, my players can see both where the ship is on the water, and also where their characters are on the ship, without having weird scaling issues (like calling a square on the ocean 5 feet or a square on the ships 30 feet). If this isn't possible, it isn't a huge deal. I just thought it might be cool. I know I could just describe what happens on the ship verbally or just remind my players that the scales are different, but my players use the ruler tool a lot, and I didn't want to confuse them more than I already would be.

It is not possible. Each page contains the grid as a whole. One way to do what you want is to go with a grid disabled and each side have grids printed on their maps then just count the squares or hexes. This method would allow a hex grid map and a square grid map coexist side by side. It would allow you to have one map with a grid printed on it to be scaled at 30ft and the other map be scaled at 5ft be shown on the same page. This method replicates the ability of just laying down tiles or grid paper on the dining room table during a IRL game.
Dang! Oh well. I'll make it work! Thank you for the quick reply!
