You could use the shortcode on the page three times, limit it to the single entry per shortcode instance. The down side, you would have to disable all list and entry actions as well as the search and the category selection or they would display one for each shortcode instance.

Another option is to to use CSS. Something like this would likely be close:

#cn-excerpt-plus .cn-list-row-alternate, 
#cn-excerpt-plus .cn-list-row {
  max-width: 30%;
  display: inline-block;
  float: left;
  margin-right: 3%;
}

The CSS would probably have to be tweaked a bit… I hope one of these options helps!
