The easiest solution is to pack two buttons, for example in a
vbox, with space set to 0, and then use:

gtk_button_set_relief (GTK_BUTTON (button), GTK_RELIEF_NONE);

so your two buttons fit together, without any visible separation.

You may also use:
gtk_widget_set_size_request (button, BUTTON_WIDTH, BUTTON_HEIGHT);

to control the button dimensions. To set the button colors, use for 
example gtk_widget_modify_fg|bg|base()(you can see also the Havoc's 
article on widget colors: http://ometer.com/gtk-colors.html)
