One way you can achieve this is to use two columns for the table which
requires wider columns, and to merge adjacent cells, but this is not
recommended as merged cells cause all sorts of problems.

Can you not have your second table positioned to the right of the
first table so it uses different columns?

Alternatively, if this is for a printed document, you could think
about using Word, and linking the tables seperately to the Word
document.

Hope this helps.

The upper table has different column width requirements that the lower data
elements.
