I found the same problem in this topic and just make it fit my question:

RecyclerView LayoutManager different span counts on different rows

We just create GridLayoutManager and override method, then simplity set it in Recycler:

val layoutManager = GridLayoutManager(context, 2)
layoutManager.spanSizeLookup = object : SpanSizeLookup() {
    override fun getSpanSize(position: Int): Int {
        // 5 is the sum of items in one repeated section
        when (position % 3) {
            0 -> return 2
            1, 2 -> return 1
        }
        throw IllegalStateException("internal error")
    }
}

recycler.layoutManager = layoutManager
