I'm looking to reproduce a format similar to pages 8-9 of this document:

One could work with columns, but any time the page or font size was
changed, it would disturb the formatting.
I'm not sure what disturbance you are imagining. Your example
document has only one block of note text against each panel of
substantive text. I think problems would occur only if you had more
than one such block and you used a crude method of spacing them, e.g.
repeated empty paragraphs. Instead, you could arrange such blocks
using either multiple sections or - probably more easily - a
two-column, multi-row table. Each block of notes would be in the
same row as its corresponding text and could easily be positioned at
the top, middle, or bottom of its cell.
Note that:
o tables break more appropriately across pages than columns would,
o you have the choice of allowing table rows to break (or not)
across pages, and
o you can disable borders on rows so that, if appropriate, the
structure becomes invisible in the printed document.
I trust this helps.
