Select the items that start each row.
Generate a row for each of those.
The first cell's content is based on the current item;
tje second cell's content is calculated relative to the current item.
If there's no content to fill in a cell, use '&#160;'.

If you want to do colspan tricks instead, you just have to think
of a way to test that the current node is not the last in the row, and
that it doesn't have following siblings. Then you can generate a
colspan attribute with xsl:attribute, and give it a value that is
(max # of columns - 1) - position() ... at least, that's one way to
go about it.

Have you skimmed through the FAQ at http://www.dpawson.co.uk/ ?
Many examples there...
