In an HTML table, rows are created by <tr></tr>. rowspan spans rows but does not create a new rows.
<td colspan="4" rowspan="2">4x2</td>Here, the cell has a rowspan as 2, but the row below already has values, which will be used by the table. Because of this, you get an uneven structure.
The empty row created will be occupied by the cell with rowspan="2", if you change rowspan="3" and add a single empty row, you see the changes.

You need to "consume" Line 3 in the code, even though it doesn't have new cells (<td>), because it exists in the grid structure.
Just add a pair of empty line tags right after the closing tag.
<tr> <td colspan="5" rowspan="5">5x5</td> <td colspan="4" rowspan="2">4x2</td> </tr> <tr></tr> <tr> <td>6</td><td>7</td><td>8</td><td>9</td> </tr>
