Same height rows in table

Hi,

I'm trying to tell xsl-fo to keep all rows in a table the same height:

The table contains 2 columns, and 2(n) rows.
The second column spans all rows and contains a 'large' graphic and
makes the table expand beyond the height required by the first column
rows.
In this case, the last row in the first column grows so the bottom edge
matches that of the second column (like a table, fancy that!) and is
therefore taller than the other rows.

I would like all the rows to keep the same height, i.e. expand together
to match the height of the second column.

Current:    Wanted:
+---+---+   +---+---+
|   |   |   |   |   |
+---+   |   |   |   |
|   |   |   |   |   |
|   |   |   +---+   |
|   |   |   |   |   |
|   |   |   |   |   |
|   |   |   |   |   |
+---+---+   +---+---+

Is this possible without hard-coding the height of the lines? (I would
rather not calculate the size of the content of the second column...)

I have tried setting the table-row heights to 50% (100/n%), to no avail.

Just in case it matters, I'm using Apache FOP for the rendering.

Here is a (hopefully) minimal example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format" version="1.0">
 <xsl:template match="/">
<fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">
 <fo:layout-master-set>
  <fo:simple-page-master master-name="test">
   <fo:region-body/>
  </fo:simple-page-master>
 </fo:layout-master-set>
 <fo:page-sequence master-reference="test">
  <fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
<fo:table width="100%" table-layout="fixed">
 <fo:table-column column-width="80%"/>
 <fo:table-column column-width="20%"/>
 <fo:table-body>
  <fo:table-row>
   <fo:table-cell border-style="solid">
    <fo:block>A</fo:block>
   </fo:table-cell>
   <fo:table-cell number-rows-spanned="2" border-style="solid">
    <fo:block>BBBBBBBB BBBBBBBB BBBBBBBB BBBBBBBB BBBBBBBB BBBBBBBB
BBBBBBBB</fo:block>
   </fo:table-cell>
  </fo:table-row>
  <fo:table-row>
   <fo:table-cell border-style="solid">
    <fo:block>C</fo:block>
   </fo:table-cell>
  </fo:table-row>
 </fo:table-body>
</fo:table>
  </fo:flow>
 </fo:page-sequence>
</fo:root>
 </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
