Would you like your 2 columns to be half width then? Or you want them to preserve the 2 middle columns but keep them empty? Please reply back and I will give you a solution. :)

So edit your footer.php and find this:

<div class="four columns">
<?php if ( ! dynamic_sidebar('Footer Widget 1') ) : ?>			
	<h3 class="widgettitle">Footer Widget Area 1</h3>
	<p><a href="<?php echo admin_url('widgets.php'); ?>">Assign a widget to this area now.</a></p>	
<?php endif; // end widget area ?>	
</div>

<div class="four columns">
<?php if ( ! dynamic_sidebar('Footer Widget 2') ) : ?>
	<h3 class="widgettitle">Footer Widget Area 2</h3>
	<p><a href="<?php echo admin_url('widgets.php'); ?>">Assign a widget to this area now.</a></p>					
<?php endif; // end widget area ?>	
</div>

<div class="four columns">
<?php if ( ! dynamic_sidebar('Footer Widget 3') ) : ?>
	<h3 class="widgettitle">Footer Widget Area 3</h3>
	<p><a href="<?php echo admin_url('widgets.php'); ?>">Assign a widget to this area now.</a></p>					
<?php endif; // end widget area ?>	
</div>

<div class="four columns">
<?php if ( ! dynamic_sidebar('Footer Widget 4') ) : ?>
	<h3 class="widgettitle">Footer Widget Area 4</h3>
	<p><a href="<?php echo admin_url('widgets.php'); ?>">Assign a widget to this area now.</a></p>					
<?php endif; // end widget area ?>		
</div>

These are basically the four columns in the footer, each of them is “four columns” wide which is basically 1/4 of sixteen (the full wrapper width).

All you need to do is Leave out an empty space in the center 2 columns and you are good to go, like so:

<div class="four columns">
<?php if ( ! dynamic_sidebar('Footer Widget 1') ) : ?>			
	<h3 class="widgettitle">Footer Widget Area 1</h3>
	<p><a href="<?php echo admin_url('widgets.php'); ?>">Assign a widget to this area now.</a></p>	
<?php endif; // end widget area ?>	
</div>

<div class="four columns">
&nbsp;	
</div>

<div class="four columns">
&nbsp;	
</div>

<div class="four columns">
<?php if ( ! dynamic_sidebar('Footer Widget 4') ) : ?>
	<h3 class="widgettitle">Footer Widget Area 4</h3>
	<p><a href="<?php echo admin_url('widgets.php'); ?>">Assign a widget to this area now.</a></p>					
<?php endif; // end widget area ?>		
</div>

Let me know if that works OK for you. :)
