XSL-FO Table Problem / Many columns on one page

Hi,
I'm having a problem with layouting tables with XSL-FO.
I'm working with tables with lost of columns, which ends up in the
table being to big for a normal page and the rest of the table is not
displayed cause it's outside of the paper. Btw, i'm going to render
the table into a pdf with FOP or XEP, so it's not a problem cause of
incompatibility of FOP.
Is there a way, i can tell the prozessor that if the columns are too
long for one page, that the columns (not the rows) are continued on
the next page? Imagine a simple table with 5 rows but 50 columns which
just hold one number in every cell. even with wrapping  and
hyphenation on, it will simply be to big for one page, but i still
want to print it... splitted over numorous pages.
the problem is, i need to "divide" the rows between some columns onto
more than one page--
i hope you understand what i meant. if not, please ask.

thanx for the help
