Try adding cells with 0 width border? something like this?

PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("Cell 2", new Font(Font.HELVETICA, 8f, Font.NORMAL, Color.YELLOW)));
cell.Border = Rectangle.BOTTOM_BORDER | Rectangle.TOP_BORDER;
cell.BorderWidthBottom = 0f;
cell.BorderWidthTop = 0f;
cell.BorderWidthLeft = 10f;
cell.BorderWidthLeft = 0f;
table.AddCell(cell);
table.AddCell("Cell 3");
