According to the docs you cannot split table rows. Xhtml2pdf also doesn's
support floating, so getting divs to float next to each other doesn't work
either.

From the docs:

Long cells

Pisa is not able to split table cells that are larger than the available
space. To work around it you may define what should happen in this case.
The -pdf-keep-in-frame-mode can be one of: "error", "overflow", "shrink",
"truncate", where "shrink" is the default value.

table {
    -pdf-keep-in-frame-mode: shrink;

}

Position/ floating

Since Reportlab Toolkit does not yet support the use of images within
paragraphs, images are always rendered in a seperate paragraph. Therefore
floating is not available yet.
