Hi

It is quite simple

Open this file /templates/ja_platon/tpls/default.php and add a new spotlight position as spotlight2x

Change this :

  <div class="container">
    <?php $this->loadBlock('topbar') ?>

    <?php $this->loadBlock('header') ?>

    <?php $this->loadBlock('mainnav') ?>

    <?php $this->loadBlock('slideshow') ?>

    <?php $this->loadBlock('spotlight-1') ?>

    <?php $this->loadBlock('spotlight-2') ?>

    <?php $this->loadBlock('sections') ?>

    <?php $this->loadBlock('mainbody') ?>

    <?php $this->loadBlock('spotlight-3') ?>

    <?php $this->loadBlock('navhelper') ?>

    <?php $this->loadBlock('spotlight-4') ?>

    <?php $this->loadBlock('footer') ?>
  </div>

To this :

  <div class="container">
    <?php $this->loadBlock('topbar') ?>

    <?php $this->loadBlock('header') ?>

    <?php $this->loadBlock('mainnav') ?>

    <?php $this->loadBlock('slideshow') ?>

    <?php $this->loadBlock('spotlight-1') ?>

    <?php $this->loadBlock('spotlight-2') ?>

    <?php $this->loadBlock('spotlight-2x') ?>

    <?php $this->loadBlock('sections') ?>

    <?php $this->loadBlock('mainbody') ?>

    <?php $this->loadBlock('spotlight-3') ?>

    <?php $this->loadBlock('navhelper') ?>

    <?php $this->loadBlock('spotlight-4') ?>

    <?php $this->loadBlock('footer') ?>
  </div>

Then open this folder /templates/ja_platon/tpls/blocks and copy the file spotlight-2.php to spotlight-2x.php

edit it as showed below

<?php if ($this->checkSpotlight('spotlight-2x', 'position-5x, position-6x, position-7x, position-8x')) : ?>
  <!-- SPOTLIGHT 2 -->
  <div class="t3-sl t3-sl-2">
    <?php $this->spotlight('spotlight-2x', 'position-5x, position-6x, position-7x, position-8x', array('class' => 'equal-height equal-height-child', 'child-class' => 'col')) ?>
  </div>
  <!-- //SPOTLIGHT 2 -->
<?php endif ?>

Open this file /templates/ja_platon/templateDetails.xml and add new positions at bottom

<position>debug</position>
    <position>position-5x</position>
    <position>position-6x</position>
    etc etc 

Now you have new positions as showed from image attached
