The available layouts are stored in the view_layout_columns table. We
also have descriptions of them stored as lang strings in lang/view.php
(i.e. $string['67,33']... although I don't know what these are for
exactly because they also seem like they could be computed by just
changing the commas to hyphens...)

So it looks like this is what would need to be done:

1. Add a "sortorder" column to view_layout_columns, so that it's
possible to add a new record in the middle of the list.

2. Insert the new record.

3. Add the lang string.

... I did a quick test of this, without the sortorder column, just
putting the '20, 80' on the bottom of the list, and it works for layout
purposes but the SVG preview doesn't work. So that would also need to be
looked into. I'm thinking it's *maybe* snack-sized, so tagging
appropriately.

Title:
  Layout: suggest new 2 column with *much* larger right column

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  It would be great to have a new 2-column layout with a much larger
  right column.

  I find I'm using the existing 3-column with a much larger centre
  column for layouts that have a navigation block on the left.

  It looks neater and more compact than the simple "larger right column"
  but I could use the extra space of a "much larger column" for content
  such as tables. I'm using these for self-assessment and find I'm
  always running out of room.

  Is this a bite-sized improvement that might be achievable quickly?
