You cannot do that in WMaker. The reason is that in WM workspaces are
separate desktops, rather than pieces of a large desktop.

I haven't tried that, but I think that you can set a Workspace's size
to more than your monitor resolution, and move around that workspace
with a mouse.

All that said, there are many ways to switch workspaces in WM:
1. Alt-1, Alt-2 etc.
2. Ctrl-Alt-Right, Crtl-Alt-Left
3. With a mouse by clicking on Clip's corners, if you prefer to use
mouse.
