If you like configuring by example, then reading through
/usr/share/fvwm/default-config/config while running fvwm
is invaluable.
These older links might be helpful:
https://docstore.mik.ua/orelly/linux/run/ch11_02.htm
https://docstore.mik.ua/orelly/linux/lnut/ch17_01.htm
The latter includes:
17.11. Starting Windows on Different Desktops and Pages
https://docstore.mik.ua/orelly/linux/lnut/ch17_11.htm
but beware of cutting and pasting directly from texts
like these in case they're from a previous version
(though fvwm moves pretty slowly). In particular, just
check they're not from fvwm1 which, remarkably, is
still packaged in stretch.
People used to post their fvwmrc/fvwm2rc files in days
of yore; googleable, good for new ideas.
Cheers,
David.
