The walls have been fitted with an insulated installation wall with horizontal 45x45 studs, on which I have then mounted horizontal OSB without vertical noggings at the joints.
The question is how the plasterboards should be mounted. They should be mounted vertically, but should the short joints be placed on an underlying 45 stud or does it not matter what it looks like under the OSB and attach the plasterboards as if I had vertical studs at 45 centers?
Or should I just screw in the plasterboards where I know the 45 stud is under the OSB. That is, the screw lines become horizontal even though the boards are vertical?
The room will be divided into two and become a bedroom and playroom with a maximum height of just over 4m.

It should not matter. If you have OSB/Byggplyfa behind, it allows for "wild" drywall screwing. The drywall helps to reinforce the joints so they don’t sag. Of course, it would have been completely stable if you had installed noggins.
That’s my opinion.

What made me start thinking was when I read on the Norgips website: http://www.norgips.se/montering
2 layers in cross are only included for ceilings and then the short joints of the second layer rest on the underlying stud.
But logically, it should be enough to make sure to screw along all the joints and a row in the middle or alternatively horizontally in the underlying studs.

So I should set as much as possible in the joist because it should be better even if it's not necessary in my case.
I'm considering whether to try to set in the underlying joist and then along all the outer edges of the board but skip getting the short joints over a joist mostly because it's easiest and I avoid at least 10% extra waste. It should hold well enough then.
