I agree we should have an option to load all the rasters in different tables 
mostly if you tile them. However this little function should help you split 
your table into many:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- SplitTable
-- Split a table into a series of table which names are composed of the 
concatenation of a prefix
-- and the value of a column.
-- sourcetablename   - The name of the table to split into multiple table
-- targettableschema - The schema in which to create the new set of table
-- targettableprefix - The prefix of the set of table names to create.
-- suffixcolumnname  - The name of the column providing the suffix to each name.
--
-- Example to split the table 'test' into a set of table starting with 't_' and 
-- ending with the value of the column 'rid' to be created in the 'public' 
schema.
--
-- SELECT SplitTable('test', 'public', 't_', 'rid');;
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION SplitTable(sourcetablename text, targettableschema 
text, targettableprefix text, suffixcolumnname text)
RETURNS int AS
$BODY$
DECLARE
    newtablename text;
    uniqueid RECORD;
BEGIN
    FOR uniqueid IN EXECUTE 'SELECT DISTINCT ' || quote_ident(suffixcolumnname) 
|| ' AS xyz123  FROM ' || sourcetablename LOOP
        newtablename := targettableschema || '.' || targettableprefix || 
uniqueid.xyz123;
    EXECUTE 'CREATE TABLE ' || quote_ident(newtablename) || ' AS SELECT * FROM 
' || sourcetablename || ' WHERE ' || suffixcolumnname || ' = ' || 
uniqueid.xyz123;
    END LOOP;
    RETURN 1;
END;
$BODY$
LANGUAGE plpgsql VOLATILE STRICT;
