For the ultra wide table, it might be possible to break it into a series of 3 smaller ones, each summarizing the other. Unless the readers are all experts in the subject presented, it might actually be clearer. Some of my non-fiction military works have a number of tables, but the exact number of tanks, for example, at any location is not of interest to anyone except an expert. It might be more important that there were none at one location and many many at another.
But in an academic setting with someone looking to trip you up, you may have no choice.
