How make 2 column layout in R markdown when rendering pdf?

New pandoc version have made this easier since my original answer. According to pandoc's manual, you can now specify classoptions directly in the YAML front matter:

---
classoption:
- twocolumn
---

The new div notation also allows for inserting two column sections anywhere in the document, working for most formats

:::::::::::::: {.columns}
::: {.column width="40%"}

contents...

:::
::: {.column width="60%"}

contents...

:::
::::::::::::::

Original answer

You can use the article option twocolumn to format the whole document in two columns. Add this to your yaml front matter:

---
output: 
  pdf_document:
    pandoc_args: [
      "-V", "classoption=twocolumn"
    ]

How can I write a degree symbol in RMarkdown 2?

The problem was with RMarkdown converting nested lists. On this page http://rmarkdown.rstudio.com/authoring_pandoc_markdown.html you can find sentence:

The nested list must be indented four spaces or one tab

Although, using the tab could be a problem. When using four spaces - it works:

* Let's turn this round 360$^\circ$
    + Let's turn this round 360$^\circ$
