So far the HTML engine uses little or no CSS actually, just the
old-fashioned stuff.  ;-)

Perhaps an HTML <table> would do, no?

It’s Info, not Texinfo, so the text renderer is actually implemented in
Skribilo itself.  In particular, (skribilo utils text-table) has support
for building tables in textual forms, so probably this is what should be
used here (after all, a multi-column section is essentially a table.)
