What do you mean by that exactly ? Do you want to have :

|----------------------|----------------------|
|       featured       |   something else     |
|----------------------|----------------------|

or :

|----------------------|----------------------|
|     featured 1       |     featured 2       |
|----------------------|----------------------|

or :

???

In the first case, you could adapt the blockgroup template
themes/<...>/blocks/center.xt so that it creates the individual
table cells <td> ... </td>, and the page template so that
it puts those cells in a table :
<table><tr><xar:blockgroup ... /></tr></table> (or the equivalent
with div's or whatever)

In the second case, you'd have to look at the template
for the featureditems block itself and adapt that to
get your 2 columns, unless you want to use 2 blocks.

Or a third approach would be to forget about blockgroups
and to place individual blocks directly in your page
template...

HTH,
