I'm doing it with a touch screen at the inside nav station and a tablet running OpenCPN, and connected to OpenPlotter via network, outside. i have been struggling with some NMEA filtering issues, but that shouldn't effect you. Since the tablet outside is another instance of OpenCPN, you'll have to send routes and tracks back and forth to OpenPlotter, but I don't think that's a huge problem.
The other way to do it is to use a VNC client on a tablet at one of the stations. That gives you direct control of the main OpenPlotter/OpenCPN screen. You will lose a little bit of ... call it "intuitiveness", because the VNC client is trying to emulate your other screen.
