Not sure I understand completely what you're asking. Subtitles in SBS 3D have to be repeated in each of the two split windows. When BD-RB processed them it resizes and repositions them during the rebuild. They aren't larger -- when viewing they will be exactly the same size as the originals. You wouldn't be able to mux in other subtitles -- because they haven't been processed and when you attempt 3D playback they will be a mess (spread across the screen as you mentioned).

If you want to add other subtitles, you have to do it before BD-RB processes the source, so they can be properly resized and repositioned for 3D. You don't have to mux them into the SSIF, only the M2TS file(s).

Now, in this discussion I'm talking about a BD source. But you mention a pseudo-BD. Are you trying to add the subtitles to a source that is already split screen from an MKV? If so, I don't think that can be done right now -- but I'll look at it. I already have the code -- I'd just have to find a way to process the SUP (or are these text subtitles?).
