You pretty much have to modify the existing loop. I've done this by changing
the rows to columns in the foundation results and adding something like this
at the end of the loop:
[item-calc] $xx++; $yy=$xx % 3; return "</tr><tr>" if(!$yy);}[/item-calc]
You could probably also do it with tags, item-increment, alternate and such,
if you want to play around with the ITL, but I think the calc may be faster
(according to the tags doc).
