can i say, that if a specific number of columns are open (or if the end

show the rest of the columns on the next site?
That's not the xsl way of thinking about it (adding a break part way
through a loop)
Of course splitting a table vertiacally gets interesting if the source
may have spanning cels but assuming that isn't the case (and assuming
you want $n columns per table) you just want to select your inventorlist
elements in groups of $n.
For the first of each group: start a table, start a row, and process the
rest of the group.
so
<xsl:for-each select="inventorlist[position() mod $n = 1">
<fo:table>...
<fo:table-head>..
<fo:table-body>...
<fo:table-row>
<xsl:for-each select=".|following-sibling::inventorlist[position()<$n">
<fo:table-cell...
</xsl:for-each>
so if you have 21 columns and n is 10 you'll end up with two tables with
10 columns and one with 1, which is, I think your request?
Note you never need to break out of the loop, you just ensure before
starting the loop that you have the correct number of nodes.
