I'm not that sure if the next will not interfere with other situations, so 
please play a bit with white space settings ans such and mixed one/two 
column modes

\def\endmulticolumns
   {%\par
    \vskip\lineheight\vskip-\lineheight % take footnotes into account
    \dontshowcomposition
    \doflushcolumnfloat  % added recently
   %\doflushcolumnfloats % no, since it results in wrong top floats
    \flushnotes          % before start of columns
    \par
    \ifbalancecolumns
      \global\output{\continuousmulticolumnsout}%
      \goodbreak
      \global\output{\balancedmulticolumnsout}%
    \else
      \goodbreak
    \fi
    \eject               % the prevdepth is important, try e.g. toclist in
    \prevdepth\zeropoint % columns before some noncolumned text text
    \global\output\singlecolumnout
    \global\output{\the\mainoutput}% % % % % todo
    \ifvoid\precolumnbox\else
      \unvbox\precolumnbox
    \fi
    \global\precolumnboxheight\zeropoint
    \endgroup % here
    \nofcolumns\plusone
    \setvsize % the outer one!
\synchronizeoutput % new may 2004 / we need to: \pagegoal\vsize
    \checkendcolumnfootnotes
    \dosomebreak\allowbreak
    \restoresavedfloats}
