Description
Currently only mzp-t-columns-four allows shifting to 2col layout in small containers:
Can maybe a modifier of some sorts be used to selectively allow even a mzp-t-columns-three to change to 2col instead of just linear layout, when the author knows the presentation, layout and order of such content is not important and the columns can be reshuffled freely?
Please describe the use case(s) for this component
Often a mzp-t-columns-three layout doesn't need to retain the 3×N relation of the elements and their more relaxed reordering is not an issue. (Whereas in default the actual 3×N layout to place elements side-by-side might be necessary, so I guess this should be behind a class flag to explicitly allow it(?))
Please describe the change you wish to see
Explore a meaningful way to add such a modifier class to allow even/multiple columns for smaller containers even for odd-column-layout component.
Please describe why these changes need to be made
Allowing more adaptive layouts for mid-size viewports for mzp-t-columns-three instead of just linear layouts.

Research direction
Start with components/layout/02-columns/readme.md and inspect the three-column component styles and responsive rules described there. Compare the existing four-column two-column behavior, then define a modifier for three-column layouts and document the intended small-container behavior; done means the modifier works without changing the default layout and the documented use cases render as expected.
