I wouldn't use long table for this. Try multicols (I think now it's a permanent
component from LaTeX2e or close to that). Each time you need to change
document, force a newcolumn, each time to synchronize the columns
close and reopen the columns. Currently there is now way to ge
automatic pagebreaks with this. :-(
