Like this http://jsfiddle.net/8ha9e/1/
Add colspan="2" to the 3rd <th> and then have 4 <td>'s in your second row.
<table border="1">
<tr>
<th scope="col">Header</th>
<th scope="col">Header</th>
<th scope="col" colspan="2">Header</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<th scope="row"> </th>
<td> </td>
<!-- The following two cells will appear under the same header -->
<td>Col 1</td>
<td>Col 2</td>
</tr>
</table>

I came here for a similar problem I was facing with my table headers.
@MrMisterMan's answer, as well as others, were really helpful, but the borders were beating my game. So, I did some research to find the use rowspan.
Here's what I did and I guess it might help others facing something similar.
<table style="width: 100%; margin-top: 10px; font-size: 0.8em;" border="1px">
<tr align="center" >
<th style="padding:2.5px; width: 10%;" rowspan="2">Item No</th>
<th style="padding:2.5px; width: 55%;" rowspan="2">DESCRIPTION</th>
<th style="padding:2.5px;" rowspan="2">Quantity</th>
<th style="padding:2.5px;" colspan="2">Rate per Item</th>
<th style="padding:2.5px;" colspan="2">AMOUNT</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Rs.</th>
<th>P.</th>
<th>Rs.</th>
<th>P.</th>
</tr>
</table>

You have two options.
- Use an extra column in the header, and use
<colspan>in your header to stretch a cell for two or more columns. - Insert a
<table>with 2 columns inside thetdyou want extra columns in.

Change the <td> to be split to look like this:

Use this example, you can split with the colspan attribute
<TABLE BORDER>
<TR>
<TD>Item 1</TD>
<TD>Item 1</TD>
<TD COLSPAN=2>Item 2</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>Item 3</TD>
<TD>Item 3</TD>
<TD>Item 4</TD>
<TD>Item 5</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
