Assuming that you are on a paid plan, you can use CSS for this. This is what I use:

```auto
@media only screen and (min-width: 640px) {
  .mobile { display: none; }
}
@media only screen and (max-width: 640px) {
  .desktop { display: none; }
}

```

When using the above, it’s a good idea to group your components in containers, and then apply the CSS class to the container, rather than individual components.

I’m guessing that you are either not using containers, or not using them properly.  
Anyway, the answer to your question is yes. Containers can be configured in several ways in terms of number of columns. For example, if you want 4 components side by side, all you have to do is use a 4 column container.
