splitting table into columns

splitting table into columns

[Peter Münster]

Hello,
how could I split a table into columns in a clean manner?

To show, what I want, I prepared the following example file:

- the first page is ok for me, you see just the issue mentioned in
  http://context.literatesolutions.com/collector/15
- the 5th page looks clean
- the 6th page looks also clean but should be balanced
- all other pages are not ok...

TIA for any hints, Peter
