[Tex/LaTex] Wide table in twoside document

double-sidedtableswidth

I am using a twoside document style and have a wide table crossing the right margin if it is on a right page. How can I disable the twoside style for just the table to center it. What is the correct way to solve this?
This is a MWE.

\documentclass[11pt, a4paper, titlepage]{book}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{color,graphicx}
\usepackage{geometry}

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

\usepackage{ngerman}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}



\geometry{  a4paper,
            twoside,
            includemp,
            includehead,
            top = 30mm,
            headsep = 10mm,
            bindingoffset = 10mm,
            inner = 20mm,
            outer = 40mm,
            bottom = 45mm,
            marginparsep = 10mm,
            marginparwidth = 30mm

You can place the tabular (not table) inside a \makebox of pre-specified width. Then it doesn't matter how big the table is; LaTeX will see it as a box of that pre-specified width. The benefit from doing so is that you can adjust the alignment to suit your needs while not seeing any overfull \hbox warnings - common when working with "too long/wide content":

enter image description here

In the above output, the tabulars were set using

\makebox[\linewidth]{%
  \begin{tabular}{p{2.5cm} l p{3.5cm} p{5cm} }
    \hline
    \cline{1-2}
    wiiiiide text \\
    \hline
    abcd  wide text &  abcd wide abcd  wide text & abcd  wide text  abcd  wide text   \\
    abcd            & abcd  wide text            & abcd  wide text                  & \\
    abcd            & abcd                       & abcd                             & \\
    abcd            & abcd                       & 1                                & \\
    abcd            & abcd                       & 1                                & \\
    \hline
  \end{tabular}}

\makebox[\linewidth][r]{%
  \begin{tabular}{p{2.5cm} l p{3.5cm} p{5cm} }
    \hline
    \cline{1-2}
    wiiiiide text \\
    \hline
    abcd  wide text &  abcd wide abcd  wide text & abcd  wide text  abcd  wide text   \\
    abcd            & abcd  wide text            & abcd  wide text                  & \\
    abcd            & abcd                       & abcd                             & \\
    abcd            & abcd                       & 1                                & \\
    abcd            & abcd                       & 1                                & \\
    \hline
  \end{tabular}}

The first \makebox naturally centers its contents, while the latter is right-aligned.

Another option which includes adjusting the location of the \caption is possible via some help from varwidth:

enter image description here

\begin{table}[hp]
  \makebox[\linewidth][r]{%
  \begin{varwidth}{\paperwidth}
    \begin{tabular}{p{2.5cm} l p{3.5cm} p{5cm} }
      \hline
      \cline{1-2}
      wiiiiide text \\
      \hline
      abcd  wide text &  abcd wide abcd  wide text & abcd  wide text  abcd  wide text   \\
      abcd            & abcd  wide text            & abcd  wide text                  & \\
      abcd            & abcd                       & abcd                             & \\
      abcd            & abcd                       & 1                                & \\
      abcd            & abcd                       & 1                                & \\
      \hline
    \end{tabular}

    \caption{\mbox{Looooooooong caption)}}
    \end{varwidth}}
\end{table}

twoside really doesn't affect very much. It gives the oportunity to have different margins and headers on odd and even pages, and is detected by \cleardoublepage but that is about it.

Your comment about "layout molesting, stuff " isn't very specific but I infer that you want the margins, and perhaps the headings to be the same, so you can put this in the preamble, which just restores the oneside settings from report class.

\documentclass[a4paper,twoside, openright]{report}

\makeatletter
    \setlength\@tempdima        {\paperwidth}
    \addtolength\@tempdima      {-\textwidth}
    \setlength\oddsidemargin    {.5\@tempdima}
    \addtolength\oddsidemargin  {-1in}
    \setlength\marginparwidth   {.5\@tempdima}
    \addtolength\marginparwidth {-\marginparsep}
    \addtolength\marginparwidth {-0.4in}
    \addtolength\marginparwidth {-.4in}
    \setlength\evensidemargin\oddsidemargin

  \def\ps@headings{%
    \let\@oddfoot\@empty\let\@evenfoot\@oddfoot
    \def\@oddhead{{\slshape\rightmark}\hfil\thepage}\let\@evenhead\@oddhead
    \let\@mkboth\markboth

One way is to shift up the skip prior to the mid-height \tabucline with a \\[-1pt]. See below for 2nd approach.

Alternately, if you want the thin line to bisect the thick line, then the approach: \\[-1pt] \tabucline[1 pt]{3-5}\\[-12.5pt]\hline works.
