sorry, a missing rowspan should count as 1 not 0 so make that
  sum(preceding-sibling::cell[1]/(@col,max((1,@rowspan)))
and select="sum(preceding-sibling::cell[1]/(@col,max((1,@rowspan))) +1 to @col"

but if i use this in this input:

<row>
<cell col="1" rowspan="3">Data</cell>
<cell col="2">Data</cell>
<cell col="3">Data</cell>
<cell col="4">Data</cell>
<cell col="5">Data</cell>
</row>
<row>
<cell col="2" rowspan="2">Data</cell>
<cell col="3">Data</cell>
<cell col="4">Data</cell>
<cell col="5">Data</cell>
</row>
<row>
<cell col="3">Data</cell>
<cell col="4">Data</cell>
<cell col="5">Data</cell>
</row>

and the current node is in the cell 1 row 3 then there is preceding-sibling::cell[1], i think this method would be applicable to colspanning and not rowspannig.

i'm thinking of testing the position of the parent::row with respect to the other rows, that would be count(parent:row/preceding-sibling::row)+1, for my test case that would be 3. Then test if the difference of the current row position and the position of the cell with rowspan and col value which is lesser than the current col value is less than 0 then i have to add one empty cell marker.

i'm not sure if this would work plus i can't seem to put this idea into XSLT coding that's why i can't test this. :(
