Well, that really depends on which parts you use.  The brick hinges that were
suggested have the hinge on the corners, so the wall really would be 5 studs
long.

Ah, my mistake.  I was thinking in terms of a free-standing wall section that
was attached only at the ends.  It has the advantage of allowing you to do an
angled step-out in a long wall, but the disadvantage of leaving visible gaps if
you one stud thick, but if you bump it up to three studs thick, you can close
off the gaps so you can't see all the way through.

I am not interested in a free wall, but a wall that is just in any way attached
to the rest of the building. The hinges were just an idea, there are probably
other solutions to this.

Using hinges will give a gap, but I can hardly see how it can be done with
leaving gaps. There are bricks for this, but then I cannot have windows in the
45 d. walls.
