This works perfectly for searches with even-numbered success (2 items, 4,
6, found), but exits a little early if only 1, 3, or 5 items are found.
I use my alternating scratch variable to test for exit value, so I know
whether to close the last row or not ( </tr>).
<table>
  <tr>
    <td><table><tr><tr>stuff</tr></td>
    <td><table><tr><tr>stuff</tr></td>
  </tr>
    <td><table><tr><tr>stuff</tr></td>
                                       <---- !?
</table>

Does this matter any more with modern browsers?  And is there a way with
your "loop-alternate" to complete this neatly?
