As I said in my last reply, anything is possible in gnucash with
a little bit of programming elbow grease.   I encourage each and
every one of you to spend one weekend trying to learn scheme and
you'll see how easy it really is.  Then you can try to customize
reports that don't have the features you'd like.

Taking a report and giving it multiple (consecutive) date ranges
would be fairly simple.  All the logic for one date range already
exists.  So all you'd need to do is create parallel buckets for
each date range and then process transactions into the appropriate
bucket.  Then you can put the buckets into different columns.
Voila!
