В таких случаях рекомендуется решать с помощью ItemDecoration, поскольку они предназначены для этого.
public class ListSpacingDecoration extends RecyclerView.ItemDecoration {
private static final int VERTICAL = OrientationHelper.VERTICAL;
private int orientation = -1;

public ListSpacingDecoration(Context context, @DimenRes int spacingDimen) {
spacing = context.getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(spacingDimen);
}
public ListSpacingDecoration(int spacingPx) {
spacing = spacingPx;
}
@Override
public void getItemOffsets(Rect outRect, View view, RecyclerView parent, RecyclerView.State state) {
super.getItemOffsets(outRect, view, parent, state);
if (orientation == -1) {
orientation = getOrientation(parent);
}
if (spanCount == -1) {
spanCount = getTotalSpan(parent);
}
int childCount = parent.getLayoutManager().getItemCount();
int childIndex = parent.getChildAdapterPosition(view);
int itemSpanSize = getItemSpanSize(parent, childIndex);
int spanIndex = getItemSpanIndex(parent, childIndex);
if (spanCount < 1) return;
setSpacings(outRect, parent, childCount, childIndex, itemSpanSize, spanIndex);
}
protected void setSpacings(Rect outRect, RecyclerView parent, int childCount, int childIndex, int itemSpanSize, int spanIndex) {

outRect.bottom = spacing;
}
}
@SuppressWarnings("all")
protected int getTotalSpan(RecyclerView parent) {
RecyclerView.LayoutManager mgr = parent.getLayoutManager();
if (mgr instanceof GridLayoutManager) {
return ((GridLayoutManager) mgr).getSpanCount();
} else if (mgr instanceof StaggeredGridLayoutManager) {

} else if (mgr instanceof LinearLayoutManager) {

}

}
