2. Two columns; equal split
3. Two columns; one-third, two-third split
4. Two columns; two-third, one-third split
5. Three columns; equal split
6. Three columns; wide center column

You can add content inside the column by clicking on the + sign. You can add any type of content inside the column, just like you add content to a regular block.

If you click the whole columns block, you will be able to see the column block settings. 

You can increase the number of columns from the block settings. It allows you to add up to six columns in a row. (1)
