I'm not sure of any way I can explain what I mean any further than I did. Basically, what I want is the first (Columns_Number - 1) columns to have the same number of digits in them, and the last column will have the remainder, which would be <= the total number to spread. The only real easy way I can think of to explain it would be an example of a total of 19, spread over 5 columns, which would turn out as 4-4-4-4-3.

That is going to be as best I can possibly explain "evenly" and "remainder goes to last column" in my own words. Sorry if this leaves any gaping holes in my request. =/
