Well, for precision - since sometimes the gestures require the fingers to be close to each other - we could have fifteen-sixteen resistive touchscreens in a 3x5 or 6x6 grid.
Yes, screen calibration would be complex as hell with many separate sub-screens. But you could develop a UI similar to a game or something else as entertaining.
What other advantages does capacitive screen have, beside multi-touch? Would this hybrid screen be the best of both worlds?
Best wishes.
Capacitive one is more sensitive.

But it has some downsides - you can't use it with gloves, you need a special stylus (a pencil/ballpoint/guitar pick/book won't work for manipulating the stuff).

Beside this, I'd prefer a plastic screen to a glass one - I don't want my phone to have a broken screen after one falldown.

The idea about grid isn't a great idea: imagine clicking the media player play with 16grid...
