Thanks for the tip Tim.
This (below) worked for me -
g/\cTable\s*\d\+:\_.\{-}\d\+\s*\n\ze.\{-}\%>75c.*/.,/\cTable\s*\d\+:\_.\{-}\d\+\s*\n\zs.\{-}\%>75c.*/-1m$
\_______________range________________/
range = current line[1] to the line preceding[3] the line which
matches the new search pattern[2]
[1] : .
[2] : \cTable\s*\d\+:\_.\{-}\d\+\s*\n\zs.\{-}\%>75c.*
[3] : -1
