You could format the rows as nasted table and define the repeating
content as table header there. If this doesn't quite fit, do more
nesting:

master table
  row w. repeating col. (colspan=all)
    blind table with two colums for layout
      table height=100%      other content (perhaps in another table)
        repeating content
  more rows

Am i right that you never worked really complex HTML layouts? :-)
