Thanks a lot Lanwench for taking time.

Just add the new site/subnet & name it accordingly (e.g., "Branch
Office A"), and make sure the remote DC is in there.
Thus, it seems that I can do this only when the new branch office is
ready and the corresponding server will be installed there.

You can install the server in your own office and test it, then ship it
there, too.

This make
sense for me, although I have read somewhere
(http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/library/d408a2ec-d682-4347-949d-cf21b806f3611033.mspx?mfr=true)
that I can first test the replication with both machine in main
office, where I don't right understand how it would work without
simulating a subnet.

Of course they will both work fine in one site/subnet - if you have multiple
DCs in a single office, that'show it would work. Set up the new site. When
you move the 2nd DC to the new / branch office, then move the server object
into the correct site.


Then rename your default site to something meaningful (e.g., "Main
Office")
You mean the current "standardname-of-the-first-site"?

Yes.
