Ok the problem here is the float. A float cannot be broken over more
pages, so if you have a multipage tabular (long table), then you cannot
put it into a float. If you have the tabular outside the float then
it should break correctly over all pages (if you check long table on).

P.S.: If you need the floats (because you would like to number you tabulars
then try to put in TeX-Mode a \showpage command between the single
table-floats, this forces LaTeX to show the float now and not wait
till it processed all of them which then produces the overflow.
