It looks like you already have a design of sorts

For classic dashboards, start by adding panels and move them around into rows.

When you look at the source, you will notice some row and panel objects

<row> <panel> ... </panel> <panel> ... </panel> </row> <row> etc.

The panels will contain you chosen visualisations, e.g. single, chart, table etc.

Thanks @ITWhisperer for your response, I have updated my requirement with more details of design, can you have a look at it once and advise.

As I said, in classic dashboards, you have rows with panels. Since your composite panels still align as rows, you may be able spoof what you want by using html "filler" panels in the rows between the elements in same row. You may need to use CSS to try and set the width of the panels, but this is very tricky to do.

You can also have multiple visualisations inside a single <panel> element, i.e.

The way Splunk lays out such structure inside the panel is that <single> elements are aligned horizontally, but others will then alighn vertically.

I often will avoid using a single panel viz, which offers limited customisation and instead use and HTML section with the contents coming from tokens calculated from searches.

The top three 'rows' of your example panel, i.e. total, value, expected, above... could be a single HTML block where you can write the data from tokens and then a timechart can sit underneath.

Depending on how good your html/css skills are you can do a huge amount to vary the style.
