Hi Michelle,

This looks like a "page break" effect. Try setting a sufficiently
large "pagelength" -- the simplest way is probably something like

.pl 50i
.TS
[Your table definition]
.TE

where I've used "50i" which is about enough for a 300-line table,
but you can experiment to find the best for you.

Best wishes,
Ted.
