Formatting cgroup and factor level labels in Hmisc latex function

I'm trying to typeset at simple crosstable with the Hmisc latex function. And I have two problems. 1. How do I make all columns the same width? The Latex function seems very unwilling to break the 'cgroup' labels and the factor level labels. Please have look at this screenshot that shows my problem:
So, how can I make sure that the cgroup labels and the factor level labels are sufficiently line breaked and/or hyphenated to make the columns evenly spaced?
To force a fixed width, use a custom latex column format and pass it to the latex function. If this does not solve the column break problem, manually pass the column titles and insert a "\n". I have used the first version, the second one might not work.

2. Is there something like a 'widetable' package that can break a wide table into several tables with repeated 'rgroup' labels? As You can see in the screenshot, the table runs way off the page. And I know that there is a 'longtable' package that can do exactly this, but for tables with long rgroup lists.
A workaround is to rotate the output with latex, or to use a smaller font. Also, making the padding space columns in latex smaller can help. Dieter
