theres no direct support for a set of base classes to be in distinct tables. even though python has multiple inheritance, such a pattern represented explicitly within a relational database is not something ive ever seen. you might be able to hack this via mapping to selects, or setting up the mappers such that one "base" mapper inherits from the other "base" mapper, and the target mapper inherits from that.
