Is it possible to create my own composite template, say if i wanted one that had two columns 70: 30 ratio. Can I just start from one of the provided ones and edit it to my liking and place it in the same folder?

Hi,

I'm presuming you are referring to composite layouts.

If you know PHP and Drupal development, you can write a module that implements your own layout. Composite Layout has hooks to use layouts defined by third-party module. You'll have to look inside Composite Layout itself to find out how it works though.

Alternatively (and this is the easier way by far), just change an existing layout by overriding the css using your theme. For example, you could pick an existing two column layout, and then insert css into your theme that changes the column widths from 50:50 to 70:30.
