Awesome two taglists

hey guys.

i posted this in the awesome mailing list but thought id throw it up here incase anyone is not following it.

i have two wiboxs and id like to split my taglist in two. kinda like this:

| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
| 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 |

this is what ive put together so far but it just doenst work.

-- {{{ Tags
tag_properties = { { name = "1"
                   , layout = layouts[1]
                   , mwfact = 0.618033988769
                   }
                 , { name = "2"
                   , layout = layouts[1]
                   , mwfact = 0.65
                   , nmaster = 1
                   }
                 , { name = "3"
                   , layout = layouts[1]
                   , ncols = 2
                   }
                 , { name = "4"
                   , layout = layouts[1]
                   }
         }

tag_propertiestop = { { name = "5"
                   , layout = layouts[1]
                   , mwfact = 0.618033988769
                   }
                 , { name = "6"
                   , layout = layouts[1]
                   , mwfact = 0.65
                   , nmaster = 1
                   }
                 , { name = "7"
                   , layout = layouts[1]
                   , ncols = 2
                   }
                 , { name = "8"
                   , layout = layouts[4]
                   }

any ideas?
