you can put the inner part of your XSL into a separate template-

<xsl:template name="content">
   <xsl:if test="string-length(@header)=0">
      <xsl:apply-templates select="document($header-fancy)"/>
   </xsl:if>
   <xsl:if test="string-length(@header)>0">
      <xsl:apply-templates select="document($header)"/>
   </xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

-& then use an xsl:choose, instead of a plain xsl:if, to call that template
with or without the <table> wrapping-

<xsl:choose>
   <xsl:when test="string-length($centeroffset)>0">
      <table width="100%"><tr>
         <td width="{$centeroffset}"/>
         <td><xsl:call-template name="content"/></td>
      </tr></table>
   </xsl:when>
   <xsl:otherwise>
      <xsl:call-template name="content"/>
   </xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>

"The cab company the card in Alkan's bathroom referred to
was easily found. It was a cubbyhole tenanted by an Italian
speaker in a flat tweed cap. He made no sign of remembering
a tall, thin man, somewhat like Le Corbusier. Indeed, it could
have been a resistance to the Modernist movement as a whole that
made him so abusive towards me when I pressed him for information."
