I personally much prefer the second one -- it looks more "natural", hurts my
eyes and brain much less.  The multiple pipes are only where they're needed.

If it were a colspan of, say, more than 3, that could indeed get messy.  I
would think we might want an alternate method -- instead of `||||||||`,
something more like `-8|` ...
