I was going to try and get back to you quickly, but I don't have
koma-article defined and don't have the images you're using, so I
won't be much help to you. Intuitively, I'd suggest you try playing
with the image sizes to see if you can shrink them and make the
problem go away.

You can also try:

#+latex: \scriptsize % or \small, \footnotesize, or \tiny

before your table to make it smaller as well if you think that's contributing.

Just saw your other email come in, and the TOC will be fixed by
modifying your existing options at the top of the document:

#+options: num:nil toc:nil


Best regards,
John
