OK I'll try it. What does the [n=34] reperesent? the number of lines in the
column?

I use a narrow column followed by a wide column. If the text overflows to the
next page the wide column is still in effect. So assuming enough text I get 
two wide columns which overlap on the following page. (Bug or feature? :)
When this happens I insert 
\stopcolumnset
\page[yes]
\startcolumnset[alt]
...which is an alternate equal width set of columns.
I insert the above at the point where the page naturally breaks.

I'll keep on playing!
