Creating a split <ol> bullet list

I need to create an enumerated list which contains 40 items. Using
<ol><li>item 1</li>...etc. I was able to get a nice list with numbered
items. Now the list is too long (vertically) so I am using a 2 column table
to split the list into 2 columns running side-by-side. Is there anyway when
using the <ol> tag to have the number sequence of the second column "begin"
at number 21 and continue on from there?

Thanks in advance.

You'll need to use the 'start' attribute:
<ol start="21">
<li>item</li>
<li>item</li>
<li>item</li>
<li>item</li>
</ol>

I don't have an HTML reference to hand, but I seem to recall that the
<ol> tag has a 'start item number' attribute. Never mind; I looked it
up; it's start:
<ol start="99">
<li>This will have number 99</li>
<li>This will have number 100</li>
....
