  (defun my-personal-table-continuation-strings (row backend info)
    (when (org-export-derived-backend-p 'latex)
      (replace-regexp-in-string
       "multicolumn{[0-9]+}{l}{\\(.*\\)}" "String 1"
       (replace-regexp-in-string
        "multicolumn{[0-9]+}{r}{\\(.*\\)}" "String 2"
        row nil nil 1)
       nil nil 1)))
  (add-to-list 'org-export-filter-table-row-functions
               'my-personal-table-continuation-strings)

Untested.
