Default How do I format a column to be half the size of the one above it?

I am trying to split a column into half of the size of the row above it. The
row above is a heading and I am trying to create two sub-headings out of the
same column.

If it is a one time task then
select first row
click on Format-Columns-Height
note the height

select second row
and enter height/2 in the height box.

You can't split columns so you have to start at the top. In the row
with the headings, each heading needs to be centered across two
columns so that there will be two columns below it for its
subheadings.
To center a heading across two columns, select the two cells then go
Format|Cells|Alignment tab then choose "Center Across Selection" from
the Text alignment dropdown with the heading "Horizontal:"; or tick
the "Merge cells" option under the "Text control" heading.
