     More such rows with different numbers of lines

Do you need to manually specify the line-turns in the
left-hand column,

Yes that's the rub.  I'm experimenting with the various
suggestions right now, and one problem is that there is
a lot of whitespace to the left of a table-in-a-table...

or would it be sufficient to specify
the target width of that column and allow TeX to wrap
the text to the best of its ability ?
