i don't think that using two tables brings you any advantage (especially
the second one would be only overhead). instead you can use a table with
tree columns (is this what you ment, luigi?)

the idea is to add a column every time a picture ends in a new tab
position. simply draw long vertical lines at every right picture border
in your example layout and you can see the columns.

the 1st column has the width of pic04
the 2nd column has the width of (pic01-pic04)
the 3rd column has the width of pic02

pic01 spans the first two columns.
pic02 and pic03 are in the third column.
pic04 is in the first column.
pic05 spans the second and third column.

pic01 has also vertical spanning (first two rows).
feel free to try it (i think TABLE is good for this).

for the details or better: ask luigi ;)
