Use the gridLayoutManager = new GridLayoutManager(context,6) and override setSpanSizeLookup.

Example:

int totalSize=list.size();
gridLayoutManager.setSpanSizeLookup(new GridLayoutManager.SpanSizeLookup() {
                    @Override
                    public int getSpanSize(int position) {
                        int span;
                        span = totalSize % 3;
                        if (totalSize < 3) {
                            return 6;
                        } else if (span == 0 || (position <= ((totalSize - 1) - span))) {
                            return 2;
                        } else if (span == 1) {
                            return 6;
                        } else {
                            return 3;
                        }
                    }
                });

This will work if you want to display 3 items in a row and remaining in the center of the grid.

Change the grid layout manager span counts accordingly your requirement.
