The makeup environment creates a page sized box which doesn’t allow material which is split over many pages.

When you have such a large table you have to use a different implementation but maybe it’s better to look
if you can reduce the size of the table and or to use multiple columns (the new mixedcolumns environment
can be also used in a box).

Xtables don’t provide the same method as natural tables to set value for individual rows or columns,
you have to apply the setting to each cell or cell group (can be a direct setting via key-val or a named setting).
