You can combine these three apply-templates into one:

<xsl:apply-templates select=". |
                             following-sibling::cell
                               [@column=current()/@column+1 or
                                @column=current()/@column+2]"
                     mode="InlineAttachment"/>

You could use positional predicates instead if you wanted, from the
sounds of it.
