Hi,

working on that

in the meantime try:

\placefloat[btrl]{}{}

and things like tbrl (top-bottom,right-left flush) or specify columns with 
tblr:3

hm, should span columns (both instead of right) and clip accordingly

working on that too, kind of tricky (i'll show you an example in erlangen)

on the agenda, actually, one can do things like:
