Create this table using a single classic html table element and rowspan/colspan

I am trying to create a table that looks like this using classic HTML table constructs:

enter image description here

Thinking left to right I came up with the following HTML which was a disaster. Am I missing something?

<html>
<body>
<table border = 1 width=640 height=480>
<tr>
    <td rowspan=2 colspan=2>1</td>
    <td rowspan=4 colspan=4>2</td>
    <td rowspan=2 colspan=2>3</td>
<tr>
    <td rowspan=2 colspan=2>4</td>
    <td rowspan=2 colspan=2>5</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td rowspan=4 colspan=4>6</td>
    <td rowspan=2 colspan=2>7</td>
    <td rowspan=1 colspan=1>8</td>
    <td rowspan=1 colspan=1>9</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td rowspan=1 colspan=1>10</td>
    <td rowspan=1 colspan=1>11</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td rowspan=2 colspan=2>12</td>
    <td rowspan=2 colspan=2>13</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

Here is the code for you. I hope this becomes useful to you because I spent an hour trying to create this for you. (notice HTML 5 recommends using CSS but since you wanted this in just classic html here is the solution for you) 

<table width="800" height="400">
        <tr width=50%>
            <td width="33%" bgcolor="#6CBB3C"></td>
            <td width="33%" rowspan="2" bgcolor="#C24641" width=40%></td>
            <td width="33%" bgcolor="#6CBB3C"></td>
        </tr>

        <tr width=50%>
            <td width="33%" bgcolor="#6CBB3C"></td>

            <td width="33%" bgcolor="#6CBB3C"></td>
        </tr>

    </table>


    <table width="800" height="400">
        <tr width="50%">
            <td width="50%" rowspan="2" bgcolor="#C24641" width=40%></td>
            <td width="25%" bgcolor="#6CBB3C"></td>
            <td width="25%" bgcolor="#6CBB3C" height="200pix" bgcolor="white">


                <table width="100%" height="200pix" bordercolor="white"
                    bgcolor="white">

                    <tr>
                        <td bgcolor="#7A5DC7"></td>

                        <td bgcolor="#7A5DC7"></td>
                    </tr>

                    <tr>
                        <td bgcolor="#7A5DC7"></td>

                        <td bgcolor="#7A5DC7"></td>
                    </tr>
                </table>
        </td>
        </tr>

        <tr width="50%">
            <td bgcolor="#6CBB3C"></td>

            <td bgcolor="#6CBB3C"></td>
        </tr>

    </table>

here is the result for you: enter image description here
