ie5 will allways enlarge tables to show all content.
I'm afraid this can't be stopped.

Strange. In the snippet I showed the table still spanned further than the div should have allowed even though the content is smaller than the div, but it's not so important now. I've figured out a workaround of sorts.
Instead of using auto, as so:
* html #thetable{
width:auto;/*for ie5*/
w\idth:100%;/*for ie6*/
}
I've used a percentage:
* html #thetable{
width:75%;/*for ie5*/
w\idth:100%;/*for ie6*/
}
It's not perfect, but it's better than spanning too far.
Thanks for the original workaround.
