You can still use widgets in QTableView if you want to:

While it is possible to make cells span multiple columns, I don't think it's
possible to make headers do that, though I haven't looked at this in a long
time.

You might instead use a single pixmap for the column and draw individual
indicators at different places in the pixmap.
