"Over" can be used in the sense of "to the side of".

For example, in a chess game it would be valid English to say "Move the pawn. No, not that pawn, the pawn two over from the bishop". Meaning, the pawn that is two ranks, or two pawns, to the side of the bishop.

At a meeting discussing a selection of possible logos for a business: "I prefer the one three over from it", probably meaning, three icons or logos on from it, to the side, or on the display.

"The secret lever is two bricks over, three bricks up, from the mark on the wall".

"Not that desert - the desert I want is one over from it, next to the fruit salad".

Here it would mean "two corners or roads before or after", probably to the side, or with regard to the direction you arrived from. It often doesn't imply a specific direction (before/after, or left/right), except sometimes when you scan through items that are visible, like a display of pictures, its slightly more likely to imply "further on" than "back among those we already looked at"
