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.
