I agree - I prefer the side by side approach.
Perhaps stupid suggestion - can't it be two side-by-side objects (so
each 'cell' is in fact a row? If the cell width is forced to be wide
enough for the worst possible case:

101 11: 24/23* 22/21* 20/19* 18/17* ?? ??

(unlikely, I'll grant you, but still...)
