Answer 1

Rob,
Presuming you have the original letter shapes as outlines (if you have live Type, Type>Create Outlines):
how they got the space between the T
You may :
1) Create a long rectangle on top of the T with a width corresponding to the gap in the stem and extending past top and bottom;
2) Select both T and rectangle BUT NOT THE Z and Pathfinder>Minus Front.
This will create a Group of the two T parts (you may Ungroup if desired).
how they got the L to wrap around the T
You may:
1) With the Line Segment Tool, ClickDrag down the gap in the T stem, crossing both parts of the Z there, then Object>Path>Divide Objects below;
2) Repeat 1), only with short lines across the parts of the Z just on either side of the T stem;
3) Select and drag each relevant part of the Z up/down in the stacking order in the Layers palette.
And what DrStrik said.
