I don't use i3 anymore, but as you said, you ‘can split windows only vertical or horizontal.’ So assuming you have the defaults set, to create this grid-like layout, just
+---+---+

| 1 | 2 |

+---+---+
MOD + j

SUPER + ;

| 1 | 3 |

You have the desired layout.
(MOD
is the i3 combination key you use; for example I prefer the Windows (Super) key)
