well done for getting anywhere with this. If you used the split method to grab 
your information then it should be possible to also get it to return an extra 
item if required ie splitting a table is not required to just return tables.

If the requirement is to auto split in some way then the content of the table 
needs to be somewhat active. Putting a PageBreak into a cell isn't going to 
work, but making some content force a split might be possible.
