I don't think you can do this via org. Whenever I have tables of any complexity, I end up doing them manually with tabular inside a #+begin_latex section. If you find a solution, I'd love to hear it! Perhaps there's a quicker way of using org-table placeholders and then doing some quick tweak to the .tex file generated rather than me doing the whole thing in LaTeX.
