Yes, it is possible to define collection list items that can span over two or three columns in Webflow. This can be achieved by utilizing the built-in grid system and custom CSS styling. Here’s how you can do it:

Add a Collection List to your page: Start by dragging and dropping a Collection List element onto your page where you want the collection items to be displayed.
Configure the Collection List: Open the Collection List settings and select the collection you want to display. Choose the layout options such as the number of items per row and the sorting order.
Customize the Collection Item: Inside the Collection List, you will find a Collection Item element. You can customize the layout and design of this element to make it span over multiple columns.
Set the grid layout: To make the Collection Item span over two or three columns, you need to use the grid system in Webflow. Select the Collection Item and go to the Styles panel. Set the display property to "Grid" and define the number of columns you want (e.g., "grid-template-columns: repeat(2, 1fr);" for a two-column layout).
Adjust the width: By default, each Collection Item will take up the full width of the grid column. To make it span over multiple columns, you can adjust the width of the Collection Item. For example, if you want it to occupy two columns, set the width to 200%.
Add custom CSS: If you need more control over the appearance of the Collection Item, you can add custom CSS code. Select the Collection Item, go to the Styles panel, and click the "+" button to add a new style. Here, you can define specific styling rules to make the item span over multiple columns.
Preview and Publish: Once you have configured the Collection List and customized the Collection Item, make sure to preview your changes and test them in different viewports. Once you are satisfied with the result, publish your website to make the changes live.

By following these steps, you can define collection list items that span over two or three columns in Webflow, allowing for more flexible and dynamic layouts.
