Cinema 4D has a Film Offset parameter on the camera to allow users to do exactly what Teddy and Robert are describing.  All of the Cameras would have the same position/orientation and the Film Offsets would be increased/decreased in 100% increments along the X and Y.  This works essentially like a shift lens.  I've suggested previously that AE should have this feature as well for the reasons brought up in this thread as well as better interoperability with C4D.  Looks like I never filed a request though, time to fix that :)

Just changing the point of interests/orientation would still not give a perspective correct effect although it would be closer.  A film offset feature would be the only way (that I'm aware of) to do that.

You could place all the camera with the same position and just move the point of interest of the cameras to fill an area of the simulated larger FOV, with the array of cameras each with a more tele FOV. Think of it just shooting it as a virtual panorama, just with no overlap :-)... i think that could work, right?

One example is to use a master comp for all the elements, and have 20x cameras. When elements go across screens you just move into that comp with linked properties and elements. That way you have a consistent screen space, but the image is broken into separate comps.

This will not yield a consistent screen space when reassembled -- this will yield a space with 20 individual vanishing points.
