| I am unable to generate a </tr><tr> in my output.

Here's a simple way to do it that works like
your brain might be thinking. It depends
on using the:
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">
to *force* text into the result without being
quoted by the processor. In this case the text
you want to force into the result is:
</tr><tr>
at the strategic point when you hit your threshold
of maximum number of columns.
Given the input document of:
<data>
<field>1</field>
<field>2</field>
<field>3</field>
<field>4</field>
<field>5</field>
<field>6</field>
<field>7</field>
<field>8</field>
<field>9</field>
<field>10</field>
</data>
The stylesheet below (which is parameterized
to allow specifying the max number of columns
for the current "run") gives output like:
<html>
<body>
<table>
<tr>
<td>1</td>
<td>2</td>
<td>3</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>4</td>
<td>5</td>
<td>6</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>7</td>
<td>8</td>
<td>9</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>10</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
===============[ cut ]===================
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:param name="max" select="number(3)"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<html><body><xsl:apply-templates/></body></html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="data">
<table>
<tr>
<xsl:for-each select="field">
<td><xsl:apply-templates/></td>
<xsl:if test="position() mod $max = 0 and position()!=last()">
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><![CDATA[</tr><tr>]]></xsl:text>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</tr>
</table>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
