the cleanest way would be to write a pythonscript that splits your
result sequence into a list of lists
[[data1,data2],[data3,data4],[data5,data6]]

then you can simply loop the outer list for rows and each inner for
the cells.

<tr tal:repeat="row outer_list">
    <td tal:repeat="cell row">
        Note that spans are not technically allowed outside cells in
        tables...
    </td>
</tr>

suddenly , all is a lot cleaner and the need for logic in your
template is a lot smaller :)
