Question: Complex typesetting

I know that the purpose of Maple is not to be a typesetting worksheet. But the improved typesetting abilities (Ver 10) are useful for making demonstration worksheet. Specifically, I would like to make a demonstration worksheet of a mark-recapture model I am currently working on. The main purpose is show how how the likelihood is built, step by step, following the paper's notation. As well as showing estimable parameters (including sparse data scenarios). Since my work is used by biologists rather than mathematicians, I feel it is a worth pursuit. The only problem is that I cannot dupicate notation such as: But I cannot seem to do anything past the paired "piecewise" 2D Math input format. I am frustrated and wonder if anyone has an idea. Writing it in TeX is of course easy. I can't get a { bracket to wrap a table either. Thanks!!!
