I agree, it's a great invention for those who don't like TV. There are
few bugs but when these get polished...

It's possible to merge some, thus getting the same result.

Yes, sort of. Take the whole page as a grid and merge the columns to get
the column ratios you want.

Simple example: Start with 3 columns and merge the two right columns to
get a layout that would consist of the left column being 1/3 of the page
width and the right column being 2/3 of the page width.

The more columns you start with, the finer percentages you will be able
to get by merging the columns.
