I think you've misunderstood what I mean by "balanced columns". I don't
mean columns of equal width, but columns in which the composed text is
of equal depth across the columns, e.g.:
xxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx
Not:
xxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxx
