What do you mean with splittings cells in a HBox? – Klaus Eckelt Jul 23 '13 at 12:28

I dont know why you would want to join HBox cells as you can set the resize behaviour for every child of the hbox. There is a example in HBox's Javadoc:
//For example, if an hbox needs the TextField to be allocated all extra space:
HBox hbox = new HBox();
TextField field = new TextField();
HBox.setHgrow(field, Priority.ALWAYS);
hbox.getChildren().addAll(new Label("Search:"), field, new Button("Go"));
Joining cells would be possible in a GridPane with the row- and/or columnSpan.
GridPane gridpane = new GridPane();
gridpane.add(new Button(), 0, 0, 2, 2); // column=0 row=0, spans over 2 columns and 2 rows
gridpane.add(new Label(), 3, 1); // column=3 row=1 (spans over 1 column and 1 row (default))
row-/columnSpan and the vertical horizontal Grow can be specified in the Properties bar of the Scene Builder, residing on the right side, by default.

You can set border by using setStyle() and use some styles like -fx-border examples
P.S. styles are the same, as like css, but with -fx- prefix
