In FM7, Larry Kollar's solution should work (I haven't tried it either). But, in any version of FrameMaker, I think the simplest solution is to put that table into its own file. 

We tend to think in terms of "file = chapter," but it doesn't have to be that way. With the proper document numbering settings (e.g., use same chapnum as previous file), a chapter can consist of several files, perhaps as short as a single page. And I think that's the easiest way to manage different page sizes (foldouts) and orientations. 

HTH!
