Nobody has answered yet so let me do so.  Basically, no, this is not
possible.  Org will let you define the column specifications the way you
want them but you would still have to escape the actual mathematical
expressions in the table to avoid org's exporter from escaping the
backslashes, e.g. using export snippets or macros.  The result would be
more effort than what you already have, in my opinion.
