Oh, sorry, I was in a hurry. That should have said

Split call n of row 3 of myTable using horizontal.

I'm sure that using vertical puts less strain on the system, but it's less useful!

Here's the script I ended up with. It starts by pulling a template table from the library. Because the straightforward way of just splitting the same row more than twice fails (even incrementing the row count so that you split the one that was just created fails in the same way, I restructured the script to use a library to reconstitute the table after every row split:

set myAsset to asset 1 of library "CA-Library" whose name is "TwoUpFeatTable"

set label of page 1 of document 1 to "Import table grabs template."

select nothing
   place myAsset on document 1
   set myTabInsert to item 1 of selection

set label of page 1 of document 1 to "Import table increase frame size."

set myBounds to visible bounds of myTabInsert
   set item 3 of myBounds to ((item 3 of myBounds) + 20)
   set visible bounds of myTabInsert to myBounds

set label of page 1 of document 1 to "Import table prepares rows."

set myTabStory to parent story of myTabInsert
   set myTable to table 1 of myTabStory
   if Tend - Tstart = 2 then
    tell myTable to delete row 3
    tell myTable to delete row 2
    -- might need to fix the stroke in this case.
   else if Tend - Tstart = 3 then
    tell myTable to delete row 3
   else if Tend - Tstart > 4 then
    repeat
     -- insert (Tend - Tstart - 4) duplicates of row 3 of table
     repeat with x from 1 to count of columns of myTable
      split cell x of row 3 of myTable using horizontal
     end repeat
     if (count of rows of myTable) = (Tend - Tstart) then
      exit repeat
     end if
     set myAsset to store myTabInsert into library "CA-ClipLib"
     delete myTabInsert
     select nothing
     place myAsset on document 1
     delete myAsset
     set myTabInsert to item 1 of selection

set label of page 1 of document 1 to "Import table reimorted table."

set myTabStory to parent story of myTabInsert
     set myTable to table 1 of myTabStory

end repeat
   end if

I'm using the label of page 1 as a kind of error reporting/diagnostic mechanism so that if any of my deep subroutines error me back to the control routine, it can check that to see what error occurred.
