Maybe it's easier to come up with a rowspan markup for

...there's already a rowspan markup for advanced tables... it's "rowspan".  :-)

   (:table border=1:)
   (:cellnr:) Hello

   (:cellnr:) Apple
   (:cellnr:) Banana
   (:cellnr:) Cherry
   (:cell:) column2

Oops. But I'm glad I now know about it. I assume John already knew about this, in which case he probably has a reason for wanting it ||...||-tables.

John, how often do people need a rowspan in the ||...||-tables?
Does the markup have to be really compact? Could something really verbose work? (e.g. like this?)

||Hello ||(:rowspan=3:)This cell spans three rows       ||
||Apple ||Should continuing the rowspan here here imply a linebreak?    ||
||Banana||Or perhaps imply a new paragraph?     ||
||Cherry||column 2
