Hi Tristan,
I'm not sure I understand the description of what you are trying to do.

You are getting huge blank spaces between table rows?  That doesn't
sound right.  And "push the
whole thing together" means the table, or each row?

Regardless, it sounds like what you want is a
keep-together.within-page="always"
on each fo:table-row in your output.  You can do that by customizing the
template with match="row" from fo/table.xsl.  Just add the property to
the fo:table-row element.
