There are two easy solutions.  

1) If you need the tables to appear in the text, get the multicols package
from an archive.  Put [multicol] in as a documentstyle option, and switch
between 1 and 2 columns at will; even in the middle of a page.

OR

2) For tables that float, Use {table*}, which fills the whole page width.
See Lamport's book.

These solutions are mutually exclusive because multicols does not support 
full width floats.
