This way will work but there's a faster way to simulate colspan if you know
the width of the table and by consequence the width of each cell.
Imagine a table with 10 columns with an header with two columns that span
5+5 columns. Each column has the width of 50. 5 columns have the width of
250. To span this columns make the first and sixth cell with a
setPaddingRight(-200 + 2). 2 is the actual padding right. Fill only this 2
columns and leave the others blank without vertical borders.
