Then perhaps XSLT can help?
How about...
search for the max column with (n) empty following siblings...
No, needs to be n empty columns, only searchable by
reading every row! Yuk.
Feature request, metadata
providing the information - it must be available,
since a print doesn't print the empty columns?

OK.

Oh. Easy then, Use the normlise function,
<xsl:template name="longrow">
<xsl:param name='row' select='1'/>
?? Test for final row??
<xsl:if test='count(table:table-cell) > $row>
<xsl:call-template name="longrow">
<xsl:with-param name="row" select="count(table:table-cell) "/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>
That should return the longest row...
Just changes the problem to which is the last row :-)

Now that's a good idea!
If it can be backed up, to take care of vandals?
