Thanks Mr. Mahajan
 
I've read the article, but one can only "span" some texts over two or more columns rather than split a column into two. I've tried double the column numbers and span the other text over two columns. But of course it failed for I want the small inner column to be balanced.
 
I'm now reading the "page-mul.tex." It is a long and confusing file---I'm wondering how Hans and other guys wrote such long files that hardly had a bug---but I really hope I can get some tricks from it.

Have you read the columnset documentation?
http://pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/columns.pdf

There are examples where the visual affect is the same as nested
columns. I have not read the details of how they are implemented.

HTH,
