Look at the tbl manual at http://www.kohala.com/start/troff/v7man/tbl/tbl.ps.
Multipage tables are discussed at the top of p. 7.  NB: only the -ms macros 
are said to have support for the .TH macros (for repeated table headers) -- 
perhaps this was the only macro set in currency at the time (1976!); in fact, 
in modern groff, -ms, -mm and -me all support multi-page tables.
