How to split table cells in Open Xml?

Question

I have a document with a table. I need to be able to add columns to a specific row, while maintaining the original table width.

Essentially I need to SPLIT table cells. How can I do this using open xml for a word document? I tried

                    var tc = new TableCell();
                    tc.Append(new Paragraph(new Run(new Text("Hi"))));
                    row.Append(tc);

I tried just adding more cells, however it acts as new column and increases the size of the table.

I was hoping for an answer that doesn't involve "lel, use a table that has them split already". — j riv
