The way I see it you could try two different methods
1. If you really want to edit them directly inside TiddlyWiki in a WYSIWYG manner you could try using the fantastic CKEditor plugin for TiddlyWiki <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/tiddlywiki/nMLwo2eRRqE/Qe5EDDDAcvYJ> by BJ. It as its fair share of rough edges but I've been using it for quite a while now and it does it's job well if you put up with it's bugs. Since it is an HTML table you can simply copy paste it directly into the text area. If you make a custom local install of CKEditor you can include one of the table editing plugins and have an almost full fledged WYSIWYG table editor in TiddlyWiki without any coding or dealing with wiki text. 2. Most spreadsheet applications can receive data from HTML tables by simple copy paste, like Google Docs, Excel, LibreOffice etc. just copy your table and paste it wherever you feel most comfortable working. From there it should be fairly easy to export to any other more TiddlyWiki friendly format like CSV. Last i checked LibreOffice had a pretty decent CSV importer/exporter. You can then use any text editor or utility with find and replace or regex to tame your table into submission, and replace any CSV with wiki text delimiters.
