Page Breaks in Tables with Varying Number of Columns

I have a table with various numbers of columns within it at different points
in the table. It appears that the page breaks are inserted at the point of
the number of columns changing rather than at the natural page break point.

Has anyone else experienced this and hopefully have a work around?

What is the setting for "Allow row to break across pages" (Table Properties
Row tab)?

Apologies if I wasn't clear, I'm not refering to an individual row being
split across a page, this is where multiple rows may be forced to the next
page following a change in the number of columns in the table, sometimes
leaving the majority of the previous page blank. I'm trying to set up a
simple test case to demonstrate this as I feel it may have something to do
with the style settings, but I believe the styles are the same across the
table.

I still do not understand.
Adding columns will not affect the row distribution, unless you have merged
cells.
In whish case you have to look at space before/after paragraphs, line
spacing, keep with next and/or widow/orphan line settings (paragraph
format); or rows allowed to break or not or automatically adjust cells to
fit content (Table properties).
