Have you seen 10-page-long tables in the PDF version of the XSL FO working
draft, in Appendix C? Are they like what you need? They were also produced using
an FO formatter (XEP by RenderX, version currently inavailable for evaluation).

<fo:table-cell keep-together.within-page="always">
     ...
</fo:table-cell>

should keep your table cells from splitting on page boundaries.
