Can a table, matrix or list produce this?

I am converting a report from a Clipper application and the existing reports
shows States with some additional information in a format I am finding hard
to reproduce. On first glance the report looks like a simple tabular
format. There are something like 10 rows in the table with 3 columns. The
first item of data is placed in row 1 column 1. The second item is in row 1
column 2 and the third item is row 1 column three. The fourth item is in
row 2 and column 1. I can use a matrix and produce the rows going
horizontally but I am not sure how to limit the columns to 3 and start new
rows below that. Below is an example.
AL 12345 AR 12367 CA 19494
CO 38823 CT 43984 GA 39393
IA 39390 ID 39390 IL 39300
Any idea would be greatly appreciated.
