In Zurb Foundation 5.5.3 how do I show only a single "read more" to show a 2-column list using the 'shorten" JS plugin

Question

I'm using Zurb Foundation 5.5.3 with CSS (and do not wish to use SASS). I'm running Windows 7. I'm using Jquery Shorten to display a list of languages https://github.com/viralpatel/jquery.shorten

I am trying to reduce from featuring two "read more" to just a single "read more" (preferably keeping the one on the right. See screenshot below:

This is my html:
