The people who posted "it's in development" in 2010 haven't been involved in calibre development for a decade or more. The problem is, many 2 column PDFs are also littered with complex tables and infocrapics, and they will never be amenable to conversion.

Did you try passing the single column output of k2pdfopt through MS Word or LO Writer to produce a DOCX and then convert that to EPUB in calibre.
