I want to adjust the arrangement of my bibliography entries, here is what I have so far, with the distances marked from 1-4, which I want to adjust:
The style from a journal I want to implement looks like this:
Here is my MWE, were I borrowed the code for the two column bibliography from the this answer of egreg:

I'm not an expert in LATEX, but I think I have to play with the values of:
\setlength{\multicolsep}{#1} %
\setlength{\bibhang}{-2\labelsep}
\setlength{\biblabelsep}{\labelsep}
Any suggestions are highly welcome!
Thanks to the detailed answer of moewe I'm now almost able to implement the layout I searched for. However, there are still issues when the number of biblabels is greater than 10 or 100, respectively. To clarify the behaviour I aim for I made another drawing with the implemented code of moewe:
- Thats fixed now, thx!
- I want to be able to specify this length, regardless of the length (3) is occupying. It should be the same for all bib-entries.
- This length should be flexible and inserted automatically with respect to the length of the biblabel, eg. (X), (XX), or (XXX).
- As for (2), I want this length to be the same for all bib-entries, regardless of the length (3) is occupying.
To sum it up, while (2) and (4) should stay the same for my whole bibliography, (3) will vary in length due to the different amount of numbers in the biblabel. Therefore, the length of [(2)+(3)+(4)] is not the same for all bibentries.
Any ideas how to modify the code snipped of moeve to account for this?
