That doesn't quite work because, on my system at least, the nested grid 
still does not quit fill the space, leaving a noticeable gap at the top.

The technique of nested grids sounds nice, but in my view if one wants 
coloring and dividers in the nested part of the grid the Grid command 
still lacks adequate control. It is probably better to use the finest 
grid division and fill in the parts programmatically (or by hand) using 
Spanning.

This solution is not general but works for your example.

Grid[{
  {Grid[{{a, b}, {c, d}},
    Frame -> All,
    Background -> Orange], e},
  {f, g}},
 Frame -> All,
 Spacings -> {0, 0},
 ItemSize -> All]
