I've run into this problem before too, but I haven't found a good
solution. (Though I haven't looked that hard.) Maybe someone else will
have a better suggestion than the workaround I've used (see below).

What about just maintaining the table as an embedded LaTeX block? e.g.
... your Org text here ...
#+BEGIN_LATEX
\begin{tabular} % or wrap with \begin{table} if you need, etc.
% ...
\end{tabular}
#+END_LATEX
That way, at least, you can edit your document and the table at the same
time and in the same file, though it means giving up Org's nice table
editing features.
Best,
Richard
