Not a solution to your problem but something else you may want to
check out is Dr. Chip's Align plugin,

http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/script.php?script_id=294

Once you have all the &s inserted in your table, you can select
those lines and execute

:'<,'>Align &

to vertically align all the &s.
