Always tricky this (on my agenda is to look into the engines page
builder ...)
You can put this on cont-new.mkxl as test:
\unprotect
\defcsname\??xtableflushsplit\v!repeat\endcsname
{\doloop
{\clf_x_table_flush
method {\v!split}%
height
\ifdim\pagegoal=\maxdimen\textheight\else\dimexpr\pagegoal-\pagetotal\relax\fi
\relax
\ifcase\c_tabl_x_state
\exitloop
\else
\page
\fi}}
\protect
Please test a lot! I also needs Wolfgangs opinion on this. Maybe
preceding whitespace can interfere so maybe we need some 'slack' parameter.
