Embeding summary views into and HTML view

I want to build an HTML view that would look about like this

Summary View 1            Summary View 2

                        View 3

                        View 4


I am not familiar with HTML.

What is the very basic syntax to get the first two columns?

How can I stop Summary view from expanding to take up full width (if Summary View 2 would be absent, for example).?
