1 The heading needs to be multiple actions/icons (A single action/icon will stop the following action/icons from being columnable as per above)
2 Your 120 width action/icon will only work with your toolbar, any sizes different to yours will have gaps between the heading action/icons or indeed put them on following rows (Easy enough to work out with a screen grab though) I know this may seem obvious but just adding it in case it isn't immediately obvious to someone.
3 If the split heading is 3x40 for 120 width a single 120 width following action/icon will make the heading revert back to 3 rows, the only way to follow with a single action/icon is for that action/icon to be exactly 2/3 the width of the heading (Any more or less than that and the heading will revert to 3 rows)
There are many more issues with this technique especially with resizing of toolbars but those three are the three that bite people first and foremost.
This is still a very unreliable technique (The exact reason i have never released my theme, i have asked for better support of this but i suspect it is very low priority) and people should step with caution understanding that it is a very hit and miss random affair.
