claudes,

    I recently modified the jCarouselLite plugin to take in a
parameter for how many rows that you want shown when scrolling
horizontal or columns when scrolling vertical.  I am not sure the
easiest way to get you the code so I am just going to paste it here.

(function($) {                                          // Compliant
with jquery.noConflict()
    $.fn.jCarouselLite = function(o) {
        o = $.extend({
            btnPrev: null,
            btnNext: null,
            btnGo: null,
            mouseWheel: false,
            auto: null,

            speed: 200,
            easing: null,

            vertical: false,
            circular: true,
            visible: 3,
            start: 0,
            scroll: 1,
            rows: 1, //ADDED: Property to allow multiple rows

            beforeStart: null,
            afterEnd: null
        }, o || {});

        return this.each(function() {                           //
Returns the element collection. Chainable.

            var running = false, animCss = o.vertical ? "top" :
"left", sizeCss = o.vertical ? "height" : "width";
            var div = $(this), ul = $("ul", div), tLi = $("li", ul),
tl = tLi.size(), v = o.visible;
            var rowCss = o.vertical ? "width" : "height"; //ADDED:
rowCss is used to set the height/width of the viewport based on how
many rows are showing

            if (o.circular) {
                ul.prepend(tLi.slice(tl - v - 1 + 1).clone())
              .append(tLi.slice(0, v).clone());
                o.start += v;
            }

            var li = $("li", ul), itemLength = li.size(), curr =
o.start;
            div.css("visibility", "visible");

            li.css({ overflow: "hidden", float: o.vertical ? "none" :
"left" });
            ul.css({ margin: "0", padding: "0", position: "relative",
"list-style-type": "none", "z-index": "1" });
            div.css({ overflow: "hidden", position: "relative", "z-
index": "2", left: "0px" });

            var liSize = o.vertical ? height(li) : width(li);   //
Full li size(incl margin)-Used for animation
            var liRowSize = o.vertical ? width(li) : height(li);   //
ADDED: size of the li's row
            var ulSize = ((liSize * itemLength) / o.rows) + (liSize /
1.5);                   // size of full ul(total length, not just for
the visible items)
            var divSize = liSize * v;                          // size
of entire div(total length for just the visible items)
            var rowSize = liRowSize * o.rows; //ADDED: gets the size
in pixels of the height/width of the viewport

            li.css({ width: li.width(), height: li.height() });
            ul.css(sizeCss, ulSize + "px").css(animCss, -(curr *
liSize));

            div.css(sizeCss, divSize + "px");                     //
Width of the DIV. length of visible images
            div.css(rowCss, rowSize + "px");                     //
ADDED: Height of the DIV

            //ADDED: special consideration for vertical carousels with
multiple rows
            if (o.vertical && o.rows > 1) {
                ul.children().filter(function(index) {
                    return ((index + 1) % o.rows > 0);
                }).css({ float: "left", width: "" });
            }

            if (o.btnPrev)
                $(o.btnPrev).click(function() {
                    return go(curr - (o.scroll));
                });

            if (o.btnNext)
                $(o.btnNext).click(function() {

                });

            if (o.btnGo)
                $.each(o.btnGo, function(i, val) {
                    $(val).click(function() {
                        return go(o.circular ? o.visible + i : i);
                    });
                });

            if (o.mouseWheel && div.mousewheel)
                div.mousewheel(function(e, d) {
                    return d > 0 ? go(curr - o.scroll) : go(curr +
o.scroll);
                });

            if (o.auto)
                setInterval(function() {
                    go(curr + o.scroll);
                }, o.auto + o.speed);

            function vis() {
                return li.slice(curr).slice(0, v);
            };

            function go(to) {

not be equal to the condition; it can be lesser depending on the
number of elements.
                            curr = to == o.start - v - 1 ? itemLength
- (v * 2) - 1 : itemLength - (v * 2) - o.scroll;
                        } else if (to >= itemLength - v + 1) { // If
last, then goto first
                            ul.css(animCss, -((v) * liSize) + "px");

                            curr = to == itemLength - v + 1 ? v + 1 :
v + o.scroll;
                        } else curr = to;
                    } else {                    // If non-circular and
to points to first or last, we just return.
                        //ADDED: This determines when to stop
scrolling when more than 1 row is viewable
                        if (to < 0 || to > ((itemLength - v) /
o.rows)) return;
                        else curr = to;
                    }                           // If neither
overrides it, the curr will still be "to" and we can proceed.

                    running = true;

                    ul.animate(
                    animCss == "left" ? { left: -(curr * liSize)} :
{ top: -(curr * liSize) }, o.speed, o.easing,
                    function() {
                        if (o.afterEnd)
                            o.afterEnd.call(this, vis());

                        //ADDED: This determines when to add the
disabled class to the link when more than 1 row is viewable
                        $((curr - o.scroll < 0 && o.btnPrev)
                                ||
                               (curr + o.scroll > ((itemLength - v) /
o.rows) && o.btnNext)
                                ||
                               []
                             ).addClass("disabled");
                    }

                }
                return false;
            };
        });
    };

    function css(el, prop) {
        return parseInt($.css(el[0], prop)) || 0;
    };
    function width(el) {
        return el[0].offsetWidth + css(el, 'marginLeft') + css(el,
'marginRight');
    };
    function height(el) {
        return el[0].offsetHeight + css(el, 'marginTop') + css(el,
'marginBottom');
    };

})(jQuery);


I added comments starting with "ADDED" above or on the lines that I
editted or added.  Based on the first image in your post, try
declaring the carousel like this:

markup:
<div class="CLASSNAME">
     <ol>
          <li>CONTENT</li>
          <li>CONTENT</li>
          <li>CONTENT</li>
     </ol>
</div>

javascript:

$(document).ready(function(){
     $(".CLASSNAME").jCarouselLite({
          vertical: true,
          scroll: 3,
          visible: 3,
          rows: 2
     });
});

Let me know how that works out for you.
