I was pointed at sninsnap-portlets. Nos 1 & 2 exist as does the CSS that places them on the page.
If you create additional ones, naming them sequentially 3 & 4 etc, these are included in rendered pages and have two CSS classes applied to them. The CSS rules do not exist and would need to be placed for portlets beyond 2, i.e. 3+.
What I am seeking to do might be best done using...
