It seems like your problem is not how to do a basic rowspan but a more
complicated multi rowspan table.
Basically if you take your original example you could convert it to
something like the following.
<table style="border:1px solid" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td style="border-right:1px solid">
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td style="height:42px;border-bottom:1px solid;">1</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>6</td>
<tr>
</table>
</td>
<td>
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td style="border-bottom:1px
solid;border-right:1px solid">2</td>
<td style="border-bottom:1px solid">3</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="border-right:1px solid;">4</td>
<td>
<table border="0" cellspacing="0"
cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td style="border-bottom:1px
solid;">5</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>7</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
The main problem with this sample is the "height:42px" as it is not
dynamic and if your content contains multiple lines of data you would
need to adjust this value.
If you create your cells before adding the one with the "height:42px"
you may be able to calculate the height to get the results you want -
but it will take a little work.
Good luck
