But why would you do that? Is such a long list really useful to visitors?

And why would you do _that_? You can, though, create a tabular-looking
presentation in a fairly simple way, but you need to use markup that makes
each name an element. I guess that would most logically be <ul> markup, with
each name as a <li> element. Then you would use CSS to make the <li>
elements floated and of the same width (some number of em units, based on an
estimate on the maximum length). They would then run rowwise.
