Question on column spanning in inputFields on a form

I've begun playing with Visualforce, and I came across something that I haven't been able to figure out, although it seems to me I've got to be missing something pretty obvious.  I want to have an inputField span across two columns, just like on a page layout where the section is set to only have one column.  I haven't been able to reproduce this effect in Visualforce.  I assumed there might be a parameter on the pageBlockSection, or even the inputField, but based on the documentation I am not seeing it.  The only place I saw a mention of column spanning was with the column tag, which only works with the dataTable tag, which isn't for an input form.  I also looked at the panelGrid tag, and couldn't see a way of doing this with it either.
 
Thanks for any assistance.

<apex:page standardController="Sample_Request__c">
 <apex:sectionHeader title="New Sample Request" subtitle="Step 1 of 3"/>
 <apex:form>
  <apex:pageBlock title="Sample Information">
   <apex:pageBlockSection title="Ship To Address for Sample" columns="1" collapsible="false">
    <apex:inputField id="addressLine1" value="{!Sample_Request__c.Address_Line_1__c}"/>
    <apex:inputField id="addressLine2" value="{!Sample_Request__c.Address_Line_2__c}"/>
    <apex:inputField id="addressLine3" value="{!Sample_Request__c.Address_Line_3__c}"/>
    <apex:inputField id="addressLine4" value="{!Sample_Request__c.Address_Line_4__c}"/>
   </apex:pageBlockSection>
  </apex:pageBlock>
 </apex:form>
</apex:page>
