I think you will find the following XSL snippet useful (I think it does exactly what you want):
<fo:table table-layout="fixed" width="100%">
<fo:table-column column-width="proportional-column-width(1)"/>
<fo:table-column column-width="proportional-column-width(1)"/>
<fo:table-column column-width="proportional-column-width(1)"/>
<fo:table-body>
<xsl:for-each select="itemDataVertical[position() mod 3 = 1]">
<fo:table-row>
<xsl:for-each select=".|following-sibling::itemDataVertical[position() < 3]">
<fo:table-cell padding="1pt">
<fo:block text-align="center">
<fo:table table-layout="fixed" width="100%" font-size="6pt">
<fo:table-column column-width="proportional-column-width(1)"/>
<fo:table-column column-width="proportional-column-width(1)"/>
<fo:table-body>
<fo:table-row>
<fo:table-cell>
<fo:block text-align="end">
<xsl:apply-templates select="label"/>
</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
<fo:table-cell padding-left="2mm">
<fo:block text-align="start">
<xsl:apply-templates select="value"/>
</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
</fo:table-row>
</fo:table-body>
</fo:table>
<!--<xsl:apply-templates select="."/>-->
</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
</xsl:for-each>
</fo:table-row>
</xsl:for-each>
</fo:table-body>
</fo:table>
You will need to adjust it to fit your needs (like remove the nested table), but it should be pretty easy to implement.
