Thanks for the great ideas! What I did for this instance is to put the sub-table inside one of the top-level tables. It's not a general solution but sufficient for my needs in this instance.
Incidentally, as I think I mentioned before, I use groff with tbl to produce computer reports. It's far easier for me to generate troff/tbl code and run it through groff/tbl than to worry about all the alignment and paging myself. Thanks!
