Split and rescale table

In the cont-eni.pdf manual is an example how to rescale a table to the
textwidth using a buffer and \placefigure.
But my table is long. How do I combine the rescale with tablesplit? Now I
am using the \splitfloat command to split the table on more pages.
Thank you.

Something maybe similar I would be very interested in:
Take a given table (or whatever), split it into n balanced columns so 
that the minimum vertical space is needed. And then, take the whole 
thing and put it into a float.

i fear that this not (easily) possible (but never say never); maybe the 
best is to make a separate document and include the pages (possible with 
\externalfigure[...][...,page=])

I needed this to typeset a very long table with two very narrow columns, 
which had to be a float. And indeed, I made an extra document with five 
columns and included it as \externalfigure. Rather ugly solution, but 
since applications are rare, the effort for aesthetics would probably be 
disproportionate (if this is possible).
