I have quite a lot of lists of numbers I need to put into my document. I am not sure how best to typeset them. Inspired by reading Add \midrule Every 5 Lines Automatically the other day, I sort of wondered whether it's possible to use a tabular environment and automatically generate newlines every n numbers, where I could vary n – right now I have just manually created a table, but I want to change n and now I have to go through and move all the \\ and insert extra &… I have absolutely no idea where to begin with this idea though! Here's my current table:
\documentclass[12pt, a4paper, oneside, fleqn]{report}
\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{
top=2.5cm,
left=3.5cm,
bottom=2.5cm,
right=2.5cm,
includehead,
headheight=28pt,
headsep=18pt,
showframe,
}
\usepackage{siunitx}
\usepackage{array,booktabs}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{ @{} *{10}{S[table-format=4]} @{} }

I am not even sure this is the best way to display a list of numbers – does it even look OK? I think it looks marginally better than the randomly spaced list I had before I inserted the tabular, and a lot better than the comma separated list I tried.
