Hi Folks, Thanks so very much to everyone who responded; this has been fantastically helpful!
It sure looks like we have a number of options including creating two more layouts (although we would like to not have essentially the same layout 3 times; there is probably a way to DRY up the layouts). We could also use the r:if_url and r:unless_url to control the display of elements. It would more tightly bind the layout to the site structure, but the layout *is* the site, so we're good on that. :-) The r:if_content tags would allow us to use a simpler naming convention, like "right_gutter" and all the elements that need to appear in the right_gutter are placed there. And many thanks to Anton for sharing the techniques he find helpful. I've shared this information with my colleagues and we are delighted to learn that we had over thought the solution. I am so glad I reached out to the Radiant community!
