Set page length to a very long distance? Perhaps using the max integer
possible in groff?

How do I show "infinite" tables in nroff? When the tbl output doesn't

supporting macro package
I don't understand how man/mdoc arrange for nroff to display one long
page (e.g., for "man bash"). I guess it's something the man system
does when groff is invoked.
For my purpose, I'm displaying SQL output. I don't particularly want
to use any macro package; just tbl is enough to get nicely word-wrapped
wide columns.
