Select "View/New View". You can zoom the views independently - so in your case zoom view A to 16 times the magnification of view B and draw on view B. Works best if you are running GIMP not in single window mode and have more than one monitor - or a wide monitor to be able to arrange the two windows side by side.
I don't have two monitors but perhaps this will make more sense:
I have a high quality photo of a house and I want to redraw it in a pixelart style. I wish to use the photo as a background layer and I set the drawing layer's opacity to 50% so that I can use the background for reference. Since I am drawing pixel art, I need the background to have different PPI than the layer I am draawing on.
Does this help perhaps?
