Default Can a granite counter top be "notched"?

I am installing a counter top along a wall with two windows.

One window is wide 8' wide and then a section of exterior wall (10" wide
with a vent stack inside for the sink and dishwasher), then to it's right
another window 3' wide.

I would like the counter top to extend outside pass the exterior wall by
about 10" so the 8' window is a pass through window (slider window). The
smaller window to the right will be just a picture window. I am trying to
determine do I size the smaller window bottom to be higher than the counter
top height so it's just a regular window?

or do I size it such that the large window is a pass through and the smaller
window will have the counter top as the "sill" but not pass through?

Can they cut a granite that starts with a notch, then 12" over protudes 10"
for eight feet, then a notch for 10" then protrudes for only 4" for another
36", then another notch for 8"? This is something typically done or would
be unusual?

Thanks,

Every time you turn a stone cutting machine on or off and change
settings it costs you money. If you are seriously considering
something so complicated, better discuss it with the fabricator and
avoid a major sticker shock. The granite shop may have some better
ideas for doing what you want, so make a rough sketch and talk to them
about it.
Laminates are a whole different story for creative fabrications, as
can be noticed in any upscale restaurant or club. The machines for
working these materials and the broad range of panels and adhesives
can lead to far more artisitic forms and prices a fraction of stone.
Choose within your budget and good luck.
