Well, I'd call this a simple approach (which is good enough for me):

\begin{tabular}{cllllll}%cccccc}%
   & \multicolumn{2}{c}{$\fno \gg 1$} & \multicolumn{4}{c}{$\fno \ll 1 
$} \\
   & \multicolumn{2}{c}{\rule[1mm]{25mm}{0.5mm}}
    & \multicolumn{4}{c}{\rule[0.5mm]{80mm}{0.5mm}} \\
   Region & \multicolumn{1}{c}{Inner} & \multicolumn{1}{c}{Outer} &
    \multicolumn{1}{c}{Middle} & \multicolumn{1}{c}{Top \& Bottom} &
     \multicolumn{1}{c}{Shear} & \multicolumn{1}{c}{Upper \& Lower} \\
   Vertical distance     & $O(1)$ & $O(\fno)$     & $O(1)$
    & \rule{6.25mm}{0mm}$O(\fno)$      & $O(\fno)$   & \rule{7.5mm} 
{0mm}$O(1)$ \\
   Horizontal distance   & $O(1)$ & $O(\fno)$     & $O(1)$
    & \rule{6.25mm}{0mm}$O(\fno^{1/2})$ & $O(1)$      &\rule{7.5mm} 
{0mm}$O(1)$ \\
   Perturbation velocity & $O(1)$ & $O(1/\fno^2)$ & $O(1)$
    & \rule{6.25mm}{0mm}$O(1)$         & $O(\fno)$   & \rule{7.5mm} 
{0mm}$O(\fno)$ \\
   Vertical displacement & $O(1)$ & $O(1/\fno)$   & $O(\fno^2)$
    & \rule{6.25mm}{0mm}$O(\fno)$      & $O(\fno^2)$ & \rule{7.5mm} 
{0mm}$O(\fno^2)$
\end{tabular}

The rulers are too thick, their lifts are different -- just to assure  
that there are means for some optimisation ... also in right-shifting  
some elements.
