Default Can a column have different widths on the same sheet?

Hello,

for example:

is it possible to theoretically split a sheet into two sections (top/bottom)
to have column A to be 2" wide in the top section
and 3" wide in the bottom section?

(this is to prevent me from having to merge cells and allowing me to adjust
the widths of columns in the top section and not affect the width of the
colomns in the bottom section)

thanks!

Patrick, No, column widths are for the whole column
