it might be possible to create such a page-layout, but I think it would 
be easier to have data-records. if you don't find an existing extension 
in TER you will have to create your own extension. Maybe you can find an 
extension which can be a prototype for yours.

So you are new to TYPO3 it is not easy to code your own extension, but it 
is easier than doing it only in PHP without TYPO3.

at least there are extensions to display records from your own table.
they can display: 
- a list (with paging)
- a single record

you just have to define your own table, which is easy if you use the 
kickstarter.
in this way your own extension just defines data-records, 
TYPO3 builds your BE-input-forms, 
and one of these extensions does the FE-display (after your configuration)
