In another non-seaside world I have nested forms using the new html5 
form= attribute on inputs: 
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/HTML/Element/Input#attr-form

So you could have HTML like:

<form name="form2"></form>

<form name="merged1and3a">
   <input .../>

   <div>
       <input form="form2".../>
   </div>

   <input .../>
</form>

I have not tried to do this in seaside, but can't think offhand why it 
would not work...
