I am not using it this way, but I might know how to get it done.

This code in config.php should automatically insert a temporary " "  
between two simple tables, early in the markup processing, before tables and  
paragraphs are processed, so you don't have to add it yourself.

    Markup('|vspace', '>\\$',
      "/^(\\|\\|(?>[^\n]+))(?:\n<:vspace>)+(\n\\|\\|)/m",
      "$1\n $2");

This will actually convert 1, 2 or more empty lines between two tables in  
the markup to a single paragraph in the output.

If vertical space is really important for your wiki, the built-in and  
recommended way to handle is to not set $HTMLVSpace = ''.
