SQL Server FOR XML explicit error in generating same name nodes

i am trying to generate below XML Structure using for XML Explicit

<Workbook xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet" xmlns:ss="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet">
<Worksheet ss:Name="1">
    <Table>
        <Row>
            <Cell>
                <Data ss:Type="String">231548</Data>
            </Cell>
            <Cell>
                <Data ss:Type="String">2014-11-03T20:03:30</Data>
            </Cell>
        </Row>
    </Table>
</Worksheet>

I am able to generate 

 <Workbook xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet" xmlns:ss="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet">
  <Worksheet ss:Name="1">
    <Table>
      <Row>
        <Cell>
          <Data ss:Type="String">231548</Data>
        </Cell>
      </Row>
    </Table>
  </Worksheet>
</Workbook>

I am unable to generate the above Structure. The code i am using to generate the structure is as follows.

SELECT 
    Tag, 
    Parent,
    [Workbook!1!xmlns],
    [Workbook!1!xmlns:ss],
    [Worksheet!2!ss:Name],

    [Row!4!],
    [Cell!5!],

    [Data!6!]

SELECT top 5
    1 AS Tag,
    0 AS Parent,
    0 as SORT,

    NULL AS [Row!4!],
    NULL AS [Cell!5!],
    NULL AS [Data!6!ss:Type],
    NULL AS [Data!6!]

UNION ALL

Assuming that you do want to use XML Explicit to produce this output, you could add two more tags for Cell and Data and two subsequent Union Queries.

Edit: I've added a 1 into the Worksheet!2!ss:Name column of tag 2 to ensure the output matches your requirement.

SELECT 
    Tag, 
    Parent,
    [Workbook!1!xmlns],
    [Workbook!1!xmlns:ss],
    [Worksheet!2!ss:Name],
    [Table!3!],
    [Row!4!],
    [Cell!5!],
    [Data!6!ss:Type],
    [Data!6!],
    [Cell!7!],
    [Data!8!ss:Type],
    [Data!8!]

FROM 
( 
    SELECT top 5
        1 AS Tag,
        0 AS Parent,
        0 as SORT,
        'urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet' AS [Workbook!1!xmlns],
        'urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet' AS [Workbook!1!xmlns:ss],
        NULL AS [Worksheet!2!ss:Name],
        NULL AS [Table!3!],
        NULL AS [Row!4!],
        NULL AS [Cell!5!],
        NULL AS [Data!6!ss:Type],
        NULL AS [Data!6!],
        NULL AS [Cell!7!],
        NULL AS [Data!8!ss:Type],
        NULL AS [Data!8!]

    UNION ALL
    SELECT top 5
        2 AS Tag,
        1 AS Parent,
        AuditID * 100  as SORT,
        NULL AS [Workbook!1!xmlns],
        NULL AS [Workbook!1!xmlns:ss],
