That may be off topic, but what is this two-row book layout called in
Japanese? And to what extent is this format common?

What is this kind of book layout called?
This layout technique is called 段組み【だんぐみ】, or specifically 2段組み (two-column
layout). 段落 (paragraph) is a different concept.

Newspapers and magazines almost always use multiple-column layout. It's not
very common in novels, but we sometimes see this layout especially when it's a
long, hard-covered one with a lot of short lines.
