yes, multicol doesn't do column widths.

Looking back at your original example, Latex is assuming you are using
a portrait page, which isn't wide enough to get all that stuff in.
Thus Latex then just shoves the boxes ontop of each other.

I think what you need to do is make sure you have something like

\usepackage[a4paper,landscape,noheadfoot,margin={0.25in,0.25in}]{geometry}

to setup landscape mode (and thus set \textwidth properly to something
nice and wide).  Make sure you don't include anything like
\usepackage{a4} after it, because that will reset \textwidth.

You can check the width with the \showthe command (\showthe\textwidth)
to make sure it does look wide.
