Put the site navigation in its own div, up above everything.
Put the filter and meta boxes in their own, individual div elements to the right of the main section
Put the page/section navigation in its own div as well, out to the right. Add a red bookmark image/style to dress up the current link text. The marking of the 'current' page will need to be done via javascript (http://csscreator.com/node/33843 scroll down to the 'Your HTML is so invalid' answer).
Set a maximum width in CSS for the .compact table style for string and text types
If a given section doesn't have enough columns to fill the main section, then the div containing it should take care of filling the rest of the horizontal space
Making these changes will make future layout issues between sections much easier, since it separates the various design elements from one another.
