Yes, if you can determine the natural height of every preceding row, the position of the next cell is a vector reduction of the previous heights. You still run in to memory limitations though (unless they've produced some incredible magical compaction scheme which can extract hidden classes from DOM structures, which I can't imagine happened without my knowing it since last I looked at tables in IE [spring 2017]).
