Beautiful, thanks a mil.
Here is the your example, modified for a real feed, if someone needs it:
<xsl:for-each select="rss/channel/item">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="(string-length(description) > 2500 or
string-length(following-sibling::description[1])> 2500)">
<tr>
<td colspan="2">
<firstcase><xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes" select="."/>
</firstcase>
</td>
</tr>
<xsl:apply-templates disable-output-escaping="yes"
select="following-sibling::description[1]"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<tr>
<td>
<xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes" select="."/>
</td>
<td>
<xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes"
select="following-sibling::item/description[1]"/>
</td>
</tr>
<xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::item/description[2]"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:for-each>

Peek Ahead?
You got it exactly in the last form, let me include one special case:
yes I think that's the same as the example I gave (but with 2 rather
than 4 being long)
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">
<xsl:output indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="x">
<table>
<xsl:apply-templates select="item[1]"/>
</table>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="item">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="(string-length(.) > 4 or
string-length(following-sibling::item[1])> 4)">
<tr>
<td colspan="2">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</td>
</tr>
<xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::item[1]"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<tr>
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</td>
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="following-sibling::item[1]"/>
</td>
</tr>
<xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::item[2]"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
<x>
<item>1</item>
<item>2</item>
<item>333333</item>
<item>4</item>
<item>5</item>
<item>6</item>
</x>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
