It's perhaps worth mentioning that you cannot insert section breaks: 
there is no such thing in LibreOffice.

What Microsoft Word calls its "sections" are indeed actually section 
breaks, so you would need to insert two "sections" in Word to achieve 
the 1-2-1 arrangement of columns as implied here.  But a section in 
LibreOffice Writer is what it says it is: a section, not a section 
break.  So to achieve a 1-2-1 arrangement you make one insertion of a 
two-column section within an otherwise single-column document: you 
don't "break again".
