If you are using RecyclerView for GridView, then there is solution that should work for you:

GridLayoutManager layoutManager = new GridLayoutManager(this, 4);
layoutManager.setSpanSizeLookup(new GridLayoutManager.SpanSizeLookup() {
    @Override
    public int getSpanSize(int position) {
         int mod = position % 6;    

         if(position == 0 || position == 1)
              return 2;
         else if(position < 6)
              return 1;
         else if(mod == 0 || mod == 1)
              return 2;
         else
              return 1;
    }
});

recyclerView.setLayoutManager(layoutManager);

Hope this work for you!
