Instead of using an array in the template, use a function that  
consumes 2 items from the array on each repeat (tr) , then generate  
the tds within it.  you can use a tal:condition="true:" to suppress  
an empty td

Search for iterator or generator in the docs.  I'm not sure if PHPTAL  
supports both patterns, but they'd each do what you want.
It's supported in all TAL implementations , regardless of language
