If I'm reading the spec right, this isn't quite what I am looking for.

What I probably didn't make clear was that in this example:
(Example #2)
PANEL 1     DATE1     DATE2     DATE3
Test1       result1   result2   result3
Test2       result6   result7   result8
Test3       result11  result12  result13
Test4       result16  result17  result18

PANEL 1     DATE4     DATE5
Test1       result4    result5
Test2       result9    result10
Test3       result14   result15
Test4       result19   result20

PANEL 2     DATE1     DATE2     DATE3
Test5       result21  result22  result23
Test6       result26  result27  result28
Test7       result31  result32  result33
Test8       result36  result37  result38

PANEL 2     DATE4     DATE5
Test5       result24  result25
Test6       result29  result30
Test7       result34  result35
Test8       result39  result40

those are all on one page.  (If I left it so that all 5 date columns were in the same "row", it would spill out onto a page to the right -- something we want to avoid).  "Vertical" page breaks are ok (and I already have code to handle that), but we want the layout on a page to look like the above so that we don't have "horizontal" page breaks.

Does that make any more sense?  (I've struggled with this for a while, so I know it's hard to explain clearly.)
