ah i see, ok..
the images used on that page are all the full sized images, resized for the grid/page... which is good from a visual perspective.. not so great from a bandwidth/efficiency perspective.
but performance issues aside - yes, that type of layout could be done.. but that is beyond the scope of the highslide plugin - which is just a slideshow addon.
i am adding various admin options and that will include the option to choose which size of image to use on each of the pages.. so you can choose to use the large/master images for the image listing pages from albums if you prefer. from there you would need to change the design of the album page structure via css and javascript.
i just saw this, which is free and designed to do the job (http://vnjs.net/www/project/freewall/)
maybe i will look at using that too.
the theme on my site is my own - which i have evolved over several years. ;)
i only just came to add responsive parts - i used a boilerplate css file and just took what i needed from there. the whole responsive-ness only took about 3 hours to add.
i just updated the image page on my site to include a layout that is similar to the one you showed from oxwall:
https://www.infiniteeureka.com/photos/album/233/earthlings
i just used a simple css change as shown here:

another image grid plugin that you might find useful is: http://tympanus.net/codrops/2011/08/30/automatic-image-montage/
once i find the right way to do this for my theme, i may find a way to include it into tidypics or some other plugin.
Beleive me, thats great. I am sure people here have not seen it yet - there would be a huge, huge demand for it. I will request you with all earnestness
"once i find the right way to do this for my theme, i may find a way to include it into tidypics or some other plugin."
I will request you with all earnestness to include it in whatever way possible as soon as possible. Many many thanks!
