Indesign complex table with varying column widths


i've made best attempt @ using merge/split create complex table in indesign columns varying widths. (the person requesting work particular how columns arranged.) "clever" try be, inevitably run problem shown in attached jpg, circled in red. point can't align cell columns, no matter how merge or split cells. in attached example, bottom vertical line left of 1 above refuses moved further right. happens sooner or later--i'm amazed got far did table, , rather struggle lot of guessing how merge/split cells.

 

so don't think 1 big table how want approach these tables... (i doing quite few, similar differing complex layouts--and add creative backgrounds.) looking ideas best way set table/chart this. page full of individual text boxes makes me shudder... surely there better way?
