First you need to understand that stylesheets don't write tags, they write
nodes to a tree. Creating a TR element node is one operation, you can't
split it into writing a start tag and an end tag.

You want to create a TR element node for every 2 items in the input, so the
simplest way to do it is along the lines:

<xsl:template match="item[position() mod 2 = 0]">
   <tr>
   <td><xsl:value-of select="."/></td>
   <td><xsl:value-of select="following-sibling::item"/></td>
   </tr>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="item[position() mod 2 != 0]"/>
