Mike,
Here's a technique that might work for your situation:
A block, unless it's given a specific width or floated to one side, will
extend horizontally to fill the available space.
A vertical column of blocks will all extend to the available width of their
container.
Therefore, wrap your divs in a container floated left (see example below).
