Those are awesome! Purchasing :)
Edit: Shit, that HDMI/DVI/VGA one is sold out :(

The multiple desktops on multiple screens is handled by the windows software. However... each video output, is treated separately. I don't think you can have two separate signals on the same hdmi port. So you will need another adapter.
You have a HDMI port that you can use with the adapter you already own, and you'll have to either buy a mini-displayport to VGA adapter ( something like this ), and/or you can buy a USB to VGA adapter ( something like this ).
The SP4 Type Cover has made it feel like a whole new device to me.
Small end is definitely Mini DisplayPort, so without seeing the larger end, my guess is Mini DisplayPort to VGA.

I would think just using a Mini DisplayPort (male) to VGA (female) adapter alongside attaching the computer speakers to your Surface through the headphone jack would be the most cost effective and straightforward way to make this happen.
