You are not required to have several different layouts, in practice
applications should be able to dynamic update when resized (especially
if they want them to look nice on a desktop configuration).

What those guidelines state is that most Ubuntu phones are going to have
a 40gu or 50gu layout so you should make sure your code looks nice at
those value. In practice your UI might be a list with elements taking
the width of the screen, it should work fine on both 40gu or 50gu, one
is just giving you a bit more space for content
