alternatively (depending on what you want to do for entries that don't
match this condition) you could consider giving up on having a match
pattern for this and matching them all, and doing the test inside the template.

match="entry">
<xsl:variable name="n">
<xsl:number level="multiple" count="entry|title|para" from="table"/>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$n='1.1'">
first para or title of first entry of table
</xsl:when>
....
