Description
Currently with fields or fieldsets option it's possible to show admin fields into one line,
fields=(('Field1','Field2'), ('Field3','Field4'))
Field1 | Field2
Field3 | Field4
But if I would like to merge Field 2 and Field 4 into one field and have one big field, it's impossible.
Field1 |
Field2 | Field4
Field3 |
Field4 is one big field here
It's very useful for example if I want to show one big picture(avatar) on the right(or left) side of the form. I hope it's clear what I mean

Yes, I think complex form layouts like that are outside the scope of the admin.
No, I'm not sure what you mean. Specifically, 'merge Field 2 and Field 4 into one field and have one big field" is unclear. Maybe if you provided a sample project that would help clarify.
