Thank you for your bug report with explanatory links and testcase! It made things much easier to handle.

Also, this one is purely for aesthetics, but would it be possible to do a similar thing with Prettifying <td> + <th>?

Older versions of Sigil (forget which version) used to keep them "condensed":

2x6 Simple Table (Old Method):

This method was easily readable.

Note: I recreated the spacing off the top of my head. It was similar to this.

  <table border="1">
    <tbody>
      <tr>
        <th colspan="2"><i>Proportion of age groups attending school</i></th>
      </tr>

      <tr>
        <th>Ages (years)</th>

        <th>Per cent attending</th>
      </tr>

      <tr>
        <td>10–14</td>

        <td>96</td>
      </tr>

      <tr>
        <td>15–17</td>

        <td>56</td>
      </tr>

      <tr>
        <td>18–20</td>

        <td>17</td>
      </tr>

      <tr>
        <td>21</td>

        <td>5</td>
      </tr>
    </tbody>
  </table>

  </table>

Even the most simple of tables explodes beyond a full screen length. And the way it is indented is much harder to figure out the values + what a table is doing just from the code.
