This is a bit rough, but it will do the trick (although I'm sure some of the real WebDNA experts here can come up with easier and more elegant ways). Do it as two separate, but (almost) identical searches, something like:
| [SEARCH {searchstring}&startat=1&max=3] [FOUNDITEMS] {list item 1-3} [/FOUNDITEMS] [/SEARCH] | [SEARCH {searchstring}&startat=4&max={whatever}] [FOUNDITEMS] {list} [/FOUNDITEMS] [/SEARCH] | Lots of fine tunings and variants possible to get two columns of equal lengths and such, but that's the basic idea.
