How can cells with differing heights exist in the same row?
 
I'm trying to insert a small block of cells (4 wide, 3 high) that need to
have a low row height into an area where the row height is taller. How can I
preserve the low row height of the small block of cells while placing it side
by side with cells that have higher heights?

You can't, the cell height has to be the same for the entire row, you can
fake it by merging multiple cells but that will most likely cause a lot of
headache later on. (do a Google search for merged cells in Excel to see many
many drawbacks)

why do you need to have a low row height?
do you want each one to be with an associated higher row?
you can play with borders to make it look like you have merged cells when
you really don't.
also you can play with text blocks to make it appear that you have smaller
cells.
these all take a lot of effort and will create problems for future changes
to the document. s I would only do it for final format issues whn absolutely
needed.
