Looks like all of the divs are the same width. Why not just create containing column divs around the ones you want to stack?

<div class="col1">
    <div class="a"></div>
    <div class="e"></div>
    <div class="i"></div>
</div>
<div class="col2">
    <div class="b"></div>
    <div class="f"></div>
    <div class="k"></div>
</div>
<div class="col3">
    <div class="c"></div>
    <div class="g"></div>
    <div class="l"></div>
</div>
<div class="col4">
    <div class="d"></div>
    <div class="h"></div>
    <div class="m"></div>
</div>

Float each column left and your interior div's, which appear to already have specified width and height, will fall into place. You can even give the columns the same class, since they will just be floated left containers.
