hi jane
that is not something that the plugin can control – it is theme dependent. It will usually be done using css – possibly setting widget widths that works with your containing page and maybe floating your themes widget containers. How you do it would also depend on whether you want your site to be ‘responsive’.
Google had a few other suggestions:

It is best to use a grid in combination with functional shortcodes such as this great widget plugin. I recommend you use column-shortcodes – it is from my experience one of the few tht also allow for nested grids, giving you ultimate layout functionality in combination with amr shortcode widget.
