Subforms [1] and displaygroups [2] are explained at the Zend Framework manual.
It's rather straightforward to use. Please read them and follow the examples.

To give another example, I created two columns like this:

$form = new Zend_Form;
$form->addElement('text', 'address');
$form->addElement('text', 'shipping_address');
... more elements added
$form->addDisplayGroup(array('address'), 'standard');
$form->addDisplayGroup(array('shipping_address'), 'shipping');

Now you get two fieldsets, one with id #fieldset-standard and one with #fieldset-
shipping. A following css rule gives two columns:

#fieldset-standard, #fieldset-shipping {
width: 500px;
float: left;
}
