Possible to dynamically expand content?

I'm curious if this is even possible. There's a fair bit of space wasted in the default vanilla theme. Down the right hand side, you get a bunch of white space once all the panel content is finished. Is it possible to have the content div expand to fill that space? I've tried creating a single-column theme, but we actually have a plugin that displays standings of a competition in the side panel, so that's not ideal.

You could do two things tho.
- Float side panel so it glides down as you scroll.
Or
- Set onscroll triggers that show additional sidebar stuff as you scroll.
Both are available jquery plugins

I want to know if it's possible for a page to start out looking like this: http://vancouversouthsiders.ca/forum
Then, when the content of the side panel (categories, in this discussion, what have you) has ended, the remainder of the content on the left expands to the full width of the frame, so it ends up looking like this at the bottom: http://vancouversouthsiders.ca/testforum
Content is all forum discussions
Panel is right hand sidebar
So you want to set a trigger that content equals height of sidebar, and then expands as you scroll.?

I don't want to confuse the issue by using the wrong terminology, so here's a picture of what I'm imagining.
