Hello, Welcome to SDAPS!
I thought I could complement Benjamin's response from my experience: - while the new class that Benjamin and some other people are working will make this extremely convenient; - for the moment, it is possible to hack the current package by using minipage, and hspaces; it would ugly, but it would work exactly as you want, and provide what you want. Does this sound good? Best, Jérémie.
