While I haven't yet attempted that layout, here are my thoughts on one potential path:
You'll need 5 series, with the first one (series 0) being the composite (as the series are drawn from 0 to n, and if the composite column was the last one it would draw over the previous columns). You'll need to adjust the individual series columnWidthRatios and offsets so that series 0 and series 1 start at the same x position, and (obviously) series 1-4 take up the space of 5 series columns. You'll need to have an itemRenderer for series 0. Override updateDisplayList() and set the unscaledWidth to be wide enough to span series 1-4. Here are some potentially helpful links: 1) demonstrates tampering with columnWidthRatio and offsets: http://www.stretchmedia.ca/code_examples/offset_calculator/SeriesOffsetC\ alculator.html <http://www.stretchmedia.ca/code_examples/offset_calculator/SeriesOffset\ Calculator.html> 2) QuietlyScheming shows an example of complex stacking which you'll need since series 0 is a composite: http://demo.quietlyscheming.com/ChartSampler/app.html <http://demo.quietlyscheming.com/ChartSampler/app.html> That's only a start as you'll still need to also create a custom legend and deal with the challenge of having the first 4 clusters blue-ish and the next 4 orange-y. Having custom itemRenderers should help with that coloring issue.

Essentially each parent has a few children.
