Splitting drawing list report between 2 drawings

Our drawing list for one project has grown so large that when we generate the drawing list report it gets very small if we place it in one drawing. Is there any way to split this list among multiple drawings?

From the help file:

Break report tables

You may want to break a report into multiple tables.
You can do this from the Table Generation dialog box without
having to run the report multiple times or clicking "Put on Drawing" multiple times.
You can break the report table by specifying the number of rows per section.
If an entry in the report contains multiple lines of text, such as a Bill of Materials description,
each line of text is considered a row. A table will not be broken in the middle of a multi-line
entry but the entire entry is moved to the next section.

You can also break a report into sections based on some report fields.
This must be selected in the Report Generator dialog box. Different reports may have
different Special Breaks available. After you select Special Breaks, and click Put on Drawing,
the Apply Special Breaks option is available in the Table Generation Setup dialog box.
This option inserts a table object for each section based on the Special Breaks.
These multiple table objects (if inserted as updatable) are considered one report table by
AutoCAD Electrical and can be updated and edited as one report using the AutoCAD Electrical Edit Component command.

Breaking a Report Table across Multiple Drawings

You can break a report table across multiple drawings if the scope of the report is
set to Project and not Active Drawing. In the Table Generation Setup dialog box,
once you have defined a break as described above, you can define how many table sections
should be placed on each drawing. A blank Sections On Drawing value indicates unlimited
sections on the same drawing and you are not prompted for another drawing.
Once you enter a Sections On Drawing value, when you reach that value you are prompted for another drawing.
If you select a new drawing, you can enter the folder and name for the drawing.
Once generated, the drawing is added to the AutoCAD Electrical project.
These multiple table objects (if inserted as updatable) are considered one report table by
AutoCAD Electrical and can be updated and edited as one report using the AutoCAD Electrical Edit Component command.
