In my portal view, I've got two columns, three blocks in the left and a
single block in the right that spans the left three. The right-column block
is much shorter than the combined length of the blocks in the left column,
leaving a couple inches of whitespace at the bottom of the right column.

I think it looks much better without the trailing whitespace, but I agree
that adding another block in the right column makes things look weird. Maybe
set all blocks that aren't bottom-most in the column to 100% height, so the
trailing whitespace is gone without gaps before additional blocks?
