I can use Ctrl+W T to switch form vertical split to tabview.

My question is what can I use to switch back to vertical split / horizontal split for all tabs?

I suppose that means to close all tabs except the previous one, and then reopen all windows on that tab.

This answer may be useful for you.

You can alternatively work with buffers. Do a :ls to find the buffer number of the file you are editing in another tab (it is the number in the first column). Then you can bring the tab to a split by using the :bufdo cmd. For example, to bring file with buffer 4 into a vertical split you would do :4bufdo vs.

This howerver does not close the previous tab.
