This would be a general improvement to allow wrapping text over several
columns without the need to merge these cells. merging has limitations.

Have you tried "Center Across Selection"?

Select the range, then:

<Format <Cells <Alignment tab,
Expand the "Horizontal" window, and click on the last option
"Center Across Selection".
You could also click on "Wrap Text" if you wish.
