What's the complication? Is defining your own contraction table really that
complicated, or is it actually something else like wanting to use computer
braille text tables augmented by multi-cell (contraction) definitions (i.e. a
text table that can include a contraction table)?

But it already does. Contraction tables are multi-cell whereas text tables are
single-cell, so both paradigms are supported.
