i have not (yet ;-)) used GEM like this.

gem is not able to access multiple screens by itself.
however, if the "X-Server" is able, to create one virtual "Desktop" out 
of 16 screens, then i don't think that there should be any problems.
(just create single big Gem-window that covers all screens)

most probably, you will have no openGL-acceleration on all screens, 
which might become a problem, as the resolution will be *huge* and doing 
this in software might be too much, even for fast CPUs.
