I've solved this a couple times before on this list, so you might 
find either of these two threads (and the python code for 
creating a corresponding columnize template filter) useful:

http://groups.google.com/group/django-users/browse_frm/thread/a9ca56a9f601271a/

It also allows you to tweak the values returned for the "empty" 
cells when it squares it off (your content of your last two <td> 
nodes), so you can pad with the empty string, or you can use 
something like "&nbsp;" as your padding.

Hope this helps,
