It’s just the nature of how the table element works. The td’s will be as wide as is necessary to contain what you put in them, since you haven’t specified their widths. So a ways down the table you have the text “Personal Occupation” in that field, which is defining the size of that column. You could put a line break in there so that it took two lines, and would thus be about half as wide, or you could abbreviate it, use a smaller font, etc.
