With WooSidebars, it’s possible to change the widgets that display in a sidebar (widgetized area) according to a context (for example, a specific page, a specific blog post, certain categories or the search results screen). Setting up a custom widget area to display across multiple conditions is as easy as a few clicks.

Split sidebars and widget areas into responsive columns.
Two simple widgets are provided, “Layout: New Column” and “Layout: New Column on New Row”.
Simply place these in your widget area where you’d like to create a new column (split) or new row of columns.
Gutter size and responsive collapse options are available in the Customizer -> Widget Columns panel.

Tuxedo Responsive Widget Columns

Just tested this plugin, and it works exactly as I hoped for. I can now have complex layouts in any widget areas. 
Of course it's best used for horizontal widget areas like footers, etc...



Works perfectly!
