That will depend on some other needs.  Do you need to be able to
change the second displayed row if the user clicks on a particular
element?  Do you need to be able to select certain columns of both
rows, etc.?

You can draw just about anything you like for the display using an
item delegate.  See QAbstractItemDelegate and QItemDelegate.  It's not
really intended to be used that way, but there's nothing really
preventing you from using it as such.

Another thought is to create a Proxy model that maps one physical row
to multiple logical rows.  The delegate could then check to see if you
were on an even or odd row, or a specific role, to know how things
should be drawn, if you needed something special.  This is probably
your best option.

I hope that gives you enough to go on.
