No, you must write code to insert columns.  Why would Glade be
responsible for this?  It is easier to do it in the program and thus
maintain only one place for the number of columns.

You have to dig beneath into GTK+.  Figure out how Glade does it in
generated code, then immitate that artwork.  Read the GTK+ documentation
and example code.
