That's the easy part. How do you allocate space once you
split a flex item in half?

Well, you'll note that masonry layout also has lines. :)
They're filled in a different order, though: instead
of filling one line and going to the next, you fill the
next most empty line.

It's been brought up before, but since it's a fundamentally
different layout than what we have here, it's been deferred
to a future layout module, maybe Level 2 of Flex Layout.
