(Did you _have_ to give us a 600 page book to download to look at one table??)

This was likely done manually, and the syntax therefore may be a bit 
idiosyncratic, but according to what I _think_ is going on, you could set up 
Ta, Tb,..., Te as vectors or matrices with specific contrasts and then replace 
the term T:P in the model by

(Ta+Tb+Tc+Td+Te):P

As far as I can tell, 

Ta is a vector which is 1 when T=7, 0 elsewhere
Tb is 1 when T=8
Tc is 1 when T=2 or T=5
Td is 1 when T=2
Te is a matrix with three columns
 one is 1 when T=3
 one is 1 when T=4
 one is 1 when T=6

(you can probably also do this via releveled versions of the T factor in which 
certain levels are combined.)
