I figured it out, so here's the solution I came up with.  Your [if] will be hairier since you
need more than two rows.
[set name="tablebreak"]1[/set]
<table border="0">
<tr>
[search-list]
<td>
[item-code]
</td>
[if type=scratch term=tablebreak op="=~" compare="/3/"]
[then]
</tr><tr>
[/then]
[/if]

[set name="tablebreak" interpolate=1][calc][scratch tablebreak] + 1[/calc][/set]
[/search-list]
</tr></table>
