how to split a table?

i have to create a table with the deapi. a custom table with a dynamic number of rows and columns works quite well.

Now i have a problem with one special table. I get a dataset which have to be displayed as a table. This dataset has only 2 columns but more than 100 rows.
If i put this in my custom table, there is only one table on one page.
This is a waste of paper because there fits 2 tables on one page.

Is there a simple way to split the table with the deapi on a page, so that there are 2 tables on each page? Or have i to use a grid with two cells and put a table in each cell, count and divide the data my myself, ...?

My english is not so well, so here is a short example of what i want

table over 2 pages:

a b
1 2
2 2
3 1
4 5
6 7
8 9
1 6
5 6
3 5
...

split the table on one page:

a b a b
1 2 8 9
2 2 1 6
3 1 5 6
4 5 3 5
6 7
