Adding a picture to Page Text Webpart
ChrizK the example you gave with the ribbon was an older on-premise version of SharePoint, either 2010 or 2013. Although modern SharePoint Online shares some of the backend look and some of the features of the the older products you really need to think of it as a totally different platform. There is no way on a modern site to have text wrapping around an image. There is the text web part, there is the image web part but there is no image & text web part.
You only get the full width web part if you have created a Communication site rather than created for example a team site then converted it to the modern UI.
The graphic > text > graphic > text in the article about sections wasn't 4 columns, it was a news web part set in a one column section with the news layout set to side by side. There is then a vertical column on the right.
The options you have for the layout of columns is limited to the options Microsoft provides and you cannot set the width. The reason for that is that the page is responsive so will adjust itself depending on the screen width.
Unless you go down the route of custom development or SPFx (which we're not allowed to use at my company so I know very little about it) then unfortunately you have to live with the more restrictive way of laying out pages than we had before.

Hi ChrizK,
"I want to add a row/column with a small picture and some text around it."
Try using Sections to achieve your desired layout.
Developing the page in modern SharePoint will be the best development experience. Add the new site page as a Tab in Teams will be an excellent end-user experience.
I hope this helps.

stormin_30 Thank you for your suggestion, however, am I correct that sections are limiting in that they do not allow me to choose how wide a section is? It appears that I can, for example, choose a 1/3rd split (being a FIXED 1/3rd).
The example on the web page is certainly neat when you want everything to appear in columns, but that doesn't suit my purpose. It is also interesting that the example shows
Graphic > Text > Graphic > Text, which indicates four columns, each with a web part.
That does not appear to be possible, unless you can 2x Two Columns next to each other(???)
5. Section Layout, shows Full Width section, with two vertical dotted lines.
Is this indicating the ability to choose Full Width, and insert 'any number' of columns, at the width YOU choose?
I don't actually have this option, but I am guessing it is because I have chosen to have Vertical section on the right (which contains my Navigation links to other pages).
>>>>UPDATE >>>> I created a new site page (without Vertical), and Full Width is not available.
- Sorry, further update, as I spotted
Note: Full-width column is not available on pages that are part of Team sites. It is available only on pages that are part of Communication sites.
So, how did they produce the example (Graphic > Text > Graphic > Text)?
NB They also have a Vertical section.Can anyone tell me how the example was produced, ie Graphic > Text > Graphic > Text?
Thank you
