Can I arrange lounge sofas back to back to create a divider?

Yes, and this is a popular design technique in open-plan offices. Two sofas arranged back-to-back (with a shared back panel or a low console table between them) create a visual and partial acoustic divider that subdivides an open area into two distinct lounge zones without building walls. The backs of the sofas provide a degree of privacy for each zone. For best results, choose sofas with solid backs (not tufted pillows that would show between the two units) and a tight, cleanable back fabric. If the sofas are standard club back designs, a shared console at 28"–30" height between them doubles as a display surface or plant shelf.
