Why not do something really graphical?  Put up a dialog box that "shows"
the two, three, and four table choices (or a simplified pictorial
representation thereof) and let the user click on her choice.  To choose
rows and columns, display a ten row by four column grid.  Superimpose
a five row by two column rectangle on the upper left corner of the
grid.  Let the user choose the number of rows and columns by grabbing
the lower right corner of the rectangle and moving it until the
rectangle covers the number of rows and columns to be used.

Happy holidays!
