Like I said I did it over D online compiler which unfortunately I couldn't validate the output because it "wraps" the text, and the font wasn't monospace.
But It just a case of changing the loop in a way to print 3 groups of months.

Talking about modularity and reusable components, I really think it depends, because if that's was really the case, then I would think of using the OS functions to move the cursor around (If console/terminal) to print a given month in some location or side by side until reach some horizontal limit (Terminal), then it could be 1 column only (Like I did), 2, 3 and maybe 4 columns if the terminal/resolution permit, and for that I would use ARSD. :]
But I think this would be too much for this kind of thing writing on online compiler.
... That's where the challenge lies.
To be honest when I saw your proposal, I really thought that the real challenge would be to write my own algo to handle the date, and I was pretty sure after posting above, you would say that, but not about the layout or printing in groups. =]
