It's a potentially dangerous technique: you can produce a malformed
document as well. I dare suggest the following instead:

<!-- Disable default processing of fields that don't start the row -->
<xsl:template match="field[position() mod $max  != 1]"/>

<!-- Processing of fields that start the row. Create a row -->
<!-- and enumerate fields in the row, than switch the mode -->
<xsl:template match="field[position() mod $max = 1]">
   <tr>
      <xsl:for-each select="self::field |
                             following-sibling::field[position() < $max]>
         <xsl:apply-templates mode="create-cell"/>
      </xsl:for-each>
   </tr>
</xsl:template>

<!-- Place all real processing for field cell here -->
<xsl:template match="field" mode="create-cell">
   <td><xsl:apply-templates/></td>
</xsl:template>
