problem page, two columns not recognized

I have been using a recommended command from you to optimize a magazine for reading on my kindle. There are a few cases where it fails, so perhaps my command needs further tweaking. The current command line is:

k2pdfopt -bpc 1 -cbox1 0,.52in -cbox2-9999 0,0 -m .11in,.04in,.14in,.6in -x <input PDF files>

I have attached a page that the above command line fails to detect that the upper portion is in two columns, resulting in giberish in the output file. Perhaps this is unavoidable, as not all pages are in the same layout, and pages like this will need to be handled as individual cases. But I defer to your superior knowledge of your tool to address the case that it might be possible to tweak the column detection in the command line.

PS: In case it makes a difference, this was page 3 in the PDF being processed
