Introducing a cell that spans two rows in a PDF table

I am using iText (Java version) to create a PDF document as shown in the figure below:

enter image description here

I want to create content as shown in the highlighted part. I finished development of all the other parts of the PDF except, except for the highlighted part.

You can achieve this by properly using Colspan and rowspan in iText. An example can be found below:

https://developers.itextpdf.com/examples/tables/colspan-and-rowspan

I have added a small code block for the part I assume you'd be having trouble with:

public void createPdf(String dest) throws IOException, DocumentException {
    Document document = new Document();
    PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream(dest));
    document.open();
    PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(3);
    table.setWidths(new int[]{ 1, 1, 1});
    PdfPCell cell;
    cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("8"));
    cell.setColspan(2);
    table.addCell(cell);
    cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("10"));
    cell.setColspan(1);
    table.addCell(cell);
    cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("15"));
    cell.setColspan(1);
    cell.setRowspan(2);
    table.addCell(cell);
    cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("16"));
    cell.setColspan(1);
    table.addCell(cell);
    cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("17"));
    cell.setColspan(1);
    table.addCell(cell);
    cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("24"));
    cell.setColspan(1);
    table.addCell(cell);
    cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("25"));
    cell.setColspan(1);
    table.addCell(cell);
    cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("mm"));
    cell.setColspan(2);
    table.addCell(cell);
    cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("mm"));
    cell.setColspan(1);
    table.addCell(cell);
    document.add(table);
    document.close();
}

The resulting pdf looks like following: enter image description here

I have used iText version 5.0.6
