It’s a bit tricky to do this with the decorators, but it’s possible. Since you want to wrap two individual components within tags that are separate from each other, what you must do is first wrap one of them using the HtmlTag decorator, and after that build the other one by appending decorators after it (or optionally the other way around and prepending):

$this->setElementDecorators(array(
    array('Label'),
    array(array('labelTd'=>'HtmlTag'),array('tag'=>'td','class'=>'label_td')),
    array(array('labelTr'=>'HtmlTag'),array('tag'=>'tr','class'=>'label_tr')),
    array(array('elementOpenTr'=>'HtmlTag'),array('tag'=>'tr','class'=>'element_tr','openOnly'=>true,'placement'=>'append')),
    array(array('elementOpenTd'=>'HtmlTag'),array('tag'=>'td','class'=>'element_td','openOnly'=>true,'placement'=>'append')),
    array('ViewHelper', array('placement' => 'append')),
    array(array('elementCloseTd'=>'HtmlTag'),array('tag'=>'td','closeOnly'=>true,'placement'=>'append')),
    array(array('elementCloseTr'=>'HtmlTag'),array('tag'=>'tr','closeOnly'=>true,'placement'=>'append'))
));
