Sure. Try this:

<xsl:template match="root">
 <table>
  <!-- select all <first> that starts a new group, i.e., that doesn't have a
preceding-sibling or that the nearst preceding-sibling is a <second> -->
  <xsl:apply-templates select="first[not(preceding-sibling::*) or
preceding-sibling::*[1][self::second]]"/>
 </table>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="first">
 <tr>
  <td><xsl:copy-of select="."/></td>
  <!-- first apply to the next consecutive <first> whose
following-sibling::second is the some of the current node  -->
  <xsl:apply-templates mode="next"
select="following-sibling::first[generate-id(following-sibling::second)=gene
rate-id(current()/following-sibling::second)]"/>
  <!-- then apply to the next consecutive <second> whose
following-sibling::first is the same of the first following-sibling::second
-->
  <xsl:apply-templates mode="next"
select="following-sibling::second[generate-id(following-sibling::first)=gene
rate-id(current()/following-sibling::second[1]/following-sibling::first)]"/>
 </tr>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="first | second" mode="next">
 <td><xsl:copy-of select="."/></td>
</xsl:template>

Hope this helps you.
