this is done through the application tags in rc.xml:
http://icculus.org/openbox/index.php/Help:Applications
first in your autostart.sh:
"
urxvt -T first_urxvt
urxvt -T second_urxvt
"

then in your rc.xml:
"
<applications>
    <application name="first_urxvt">
        <desktop>2</desktop>
    </application>
    <application name="second_urxvt">
        <desktop>3</desktop>
    </application>
</applications>
"

hope this helps,
vlad
