Hm. I remember posting something but my archives have become to big to
search.

using tables: 

%D \starttablehead
%D \HL
%D \VL element \VL atom weight \VL\AR
%D \HL
%D \stoptablehead
%D
%D \starttabletail
%D \HL
%D \stoptabletail
%D
%D \starttables[|||]
%D \VL ....... \VL ........... \VL\AR
%D \VL ....... \VL ........... \VL\AR
%D \stoptables

You can combine that with: 

\splitfloat
  {\placetable{Some Table}}
  {the table or better a buffer containing one}

tabulations are split automatically (even within paragraphs); see up to
date doc.
