PD9 Win7_VM Full Screen on 2 maverick desktops

Hi:

I am running Parallels Desktop 9 Mac under Mavericks on a retina macbook pro.
I have a Win7 VM that displays full screen on its own mac desktop (used to be space).

I would like the Win7 VM to display full screen on two mac desktops.
For my use trying to use Coherance to spread Win7 windows across the 2 mac desktops is not a clean solution.

Assuming that each of the 2 mac desktops would appear as a separate display to Win7,
how would I configure Parallels Desktop to offer 2 mac desktops as displays to the Win7 VM?

Thanks,
-Terry Thrift-

Thanks for pointing out the knowledge base article.

I tried all 3 solutions pointed out in the article.
Unfortunately, none of them solved my problem.
In all cases Win7 only detects a single display.

The subject of that article is close to my question but not exactly the same.

The article discusses the case of a guest os not seeing 2 displays.
One display is an OSX virtual desktop and the second display is an OSX external monitor.

While my question also regards a guest os not seeing 2 displays,
if differs in that my desired displays are both OSX virtual desktops ( ie. there is no external monitor involved ).

I am still hopeful that you or someone else can
show me how to configure a vm to use 2 OSX virtual desktops as displays for the guest os.
