I am not sure what the "correct" way to do this is but the code below
will give the desired effect.

<div class="span-15 colborder"><div class="span-11 prepend-1
append-3"> ..content..</div></div>
<div class="span-5  prepend-3 last">...more ...</div>

Remember that colborder adds one span, your original code adds up to
25. Fixing this alone did not solve the problem but with a little
nesting I think you can achieve the look you are after.
