That is absolutely incorrect in an RV10. From the pilots seat, you cannot usefully reach and use the rightmost screen with the 310 panel.

Please sit in an RV10, with a 310 panel, with your seat belt on, and see how useful the right screen is to the pilot before making suggestions like this.

Shoot fire - I got my IFR exam in my RV-10 with dual SkyView displays (one on each side) that included the left SkyView turned off (the partial panel part of the ride). It was trivial to do a full, under the hood approach using the right panel from the pilot seat. So trivial the examiner was not sure if he met the partial panel criteria.
Now what I will grant you, I never flown with whatever a 310 panel is (I assume the OPs is example). I used the Van’s a stock piece of aluminum for the panel, the left screen up and as high as it will go, the 650 as high as it will go in the center, and the right screen mounted just to the left of the center stack (as in not right in front of the co-pilot). Standard setup is the right screen is half EMS, half moving map. I use that moving map as the long range look ahead.
Side note - I have a lot of time in that plane flying from the right seat. No issues.
Below is the panel after the current owner did the latest modification (fourth panel update in ten years). Builders should assume they will want to chance something - so the fancy custom panel will not last all that long. Plan ahead. These four panel updates, other than component changes, consisted of a new $28 panel blank from Van’s, some time cutting holes and paint.
The new RV-10 will be similar except:
- The GTN-650 will be replaced with the GNC-355.
- The center section will be just wide enough to hold the GNC-355, the right screen will move back to the left (just right of the GNC-355) as I had it before.
- The G5 will be replaced with an AV-30.
- Will add a remote NAV, if not a remote NAV/COMM (preference but waiting on TRIG, if not TRIG then perhaps MGL).
- No wet compass (I added that on this RV-10 only to meet the local FSDO office issues - back when they had little to no experience with glass panels…
