Another approach, which I find to be much faster than copying rows and pasting into new tables, is to make multiple copies of the entire table and delete the unwanted rows from each successive copy. This approach retains the original columns widths in each new table, preserves the column

If there's a lot repetitive copy/paste involved, consider creating a blank destination table with header, title, etc, as you need, then paste copies of this empty shell where you need them before you begin to deconstruct the long table. This avoids having to tweak each new table after you paste.
