Is there a way to highlight a sequence of non-tabs followed by a sequence

For example in the line
a\tb\t\tc\td
I want
"a\t" to be color1,
"b\t\t" to be color2 and
"c\t" to be color3 (or probably color1 again)
Is this even possible?
You could check out Mark.vim

Nice script, indeed.
Still I do not see how it can help me with my problem.
Mark.vim allows you to enter regular expressions.
After installing mark.vim, do this
1. Type "\r" and you'll get a "@" prompt.
2. Enter "^\%([^\t]\+\t\+\)\{1}" without quotes.
3. Type "\r" and you'll get a "@" prompt.
4. Enter "^\%([^\t]\+\t\+\)\{2}" without quotes.
5. Type "\r" and you'll get a "@" prompt.
6. Enter "^\%([^\t]\+\t\+\)\{3}" without quotes.
Repeat as necessary, with numbers in ascending order.
Could be as easy as typing "\r", followed by the Up arrow key, and
changing the number count.
If you wish to get rid of the highlightings, position the Normal cursor
_not_ on the highlight, and hit "\n".
HTH :)
