You can generally set these up just by entering the text and placing the text with vertical or horizontal spacing. Vertical spacing can be entered with Insert->Formatting->Vertical Space. Horizontal spacing can be entered with Insert->Formatting->Horizontal Fill, which will right align items (or evenly space them) or if you want a specific amount of space use, in ERT, \hspace{1cm}. Just adjust everything to your needs. If I remember correctly the upcoming LyX 1.6.0 will allow for use of other layout options with 'modules', but otherwise as Richard pointed out this not easily accomplished or takes some work to accomplish.
