Interestingly I tried this and see the following

PythonWin 2.2.2 (#37, Oct 14 2002, 17:02:34) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)] on win32.

>>> table_1_data = [['this is a cel in table_1']]
>>> from reportlab.platypus.tables import Table
>>> table_1 = Table(table_1_data)
>>> table_0_data = [['cel 1-1', 'cel 1-2', table_1],['cel 2-1', 'cel 2-2', 'cel 2-3']]
>>> from reportlab.lib.units import mm
>>> table_0 = Table(table_0_data,colWidths=3*[20*mm], rowHeights=2*[20*mm])
>>> table_0
Table(
 rowHeights=[56.692913385826778, 56.692913385826778],
 colWidths=[56.692913385826778, 56.692913385826778, 56.692913385826778],
[['cel 1-1',
    'cel 1-2',
    Table(
   rowHeights=[None],
   colWidths=[None],
  [['this is a cel in table_1']]
  ) # end table],
   ['cel 2-1', 'cel 2-2', 'cel 2-3']]
) # end table
>>>

ie no extra ''

Can you try and say what version of rl/python platform etc?
