Nice! I think you do it in this way:
 1. First, you calculate hspans/vspans.
 2. Then you do nested tables.

I didn't see the other way how it might work with current implementation
of ReportLab library... On the other hand, I am talking about col/row
-span at ReportLab level, but "Pisa" seems like doing it at PML level.
At least this is good workaround yet ReportLab grid tables does not
support such feature.

When you OpenSource your "Pisa" to at least to see the code inside? :-)

Well, one characteristic sometimes found is... to put it politely...
creative typography.  Very creative typography.
