Rather than fiddle with rio's guts, you'd do better
to implement your own window command that
surveys the screen size
(cat /dev/draw/new >[2]/dev/null | awk '{print $7, $8}')
the locations of current windows (wloc)
and then implements any algorithm you like for
placing windows.

I know that this self-conversation is getting silly, but I thought
I would report that, as far as just starting a new rio, the winwatch
that I'm trying to keep uncovered doesn't show windows opened
in the new rio, sort of defeating the purpose. So, I guess I'm
back to the original question.
Now, I
Sorry for the self follow-up, but it did just occur
to me that a simple solution is to start a new instance
of rio within a window withe the boundaries I want,
then, obviously, all subsequent window-openings
will take place in there.
D'oh.

Here's the summary for the window command in the man page.
window [ -m ] [ -r minx miny maxx maxy ] [ -dx n ] [ -dy n ]
[ -minx n ] [ -miny n ] [ -maxx n ] [ -maxy n ] [ -cd dir ]
[ -hide ] [ -scroll ] [ -noscroll ] [ cmd arg ... ]
If I do
window -r 200 200 10
