example with large table and several columns

I have a large table with many rows and this table is in a section with four columns, so that it needs to get distributed over the columns and several pages. Sometimes it is ok and sometimes not. In some cases there are even several empty pages in between, sometimes the last page is not optimal filled, and sometimes there are empty columns in between. It depends on the page position of the table and its lengths. I attached an example. There it can easily be seen what I mean. It seems to be arbitrarily, I at least cannot see a pattern.

I have experienced the same problem with large tables exported from SPSS in .doc. When I copy-paste it in the Writer (LibreOffice 3.3) in .odt file the table gets divided between the pages but does not fill all of them, so it's the 3/4 of a page then the 1/2 of the next page and so on until the end of the table.
