Code:
 sed -e '/<\/a>/,/<\/a>/{N;N;}' -e 's/<\/a>\x0A\x09\x0A\x09\x09<\/a>/<\/a>/'  in > out

Code:
 sed -e '/<\/a>/,/<\/a>/{N;N;}' -e 's/<\/a>\n\t\n\t\t<\/a>/<\/a>/'  in >  out

in cygwin

Code:
$ cat infile
hello
</a>

                </a>
world

Code:
$ sed -e '/<\/a>/,/<\/a>/{N;N;}' -e 's/<\/a>\n\t\n\t\t<\/a>/<\/a>/' infile
hello
</a>
world

how about your input ? is equal to below ?
Code:
$ sed -ne '/<\/a>/,/<\/a>/{N;N;p}' infile |od -c
0000000   <   /   a   >  \n  \t  \n  \t  \t   <   /   a   >  \n
0000016
