Yes, it's a horrible hack. I posted the following solution a while back:

<xsl:for-each select="item[position() mod 5 = 0]
<tr>
<td><xsl:value-of select="."/></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="following-sibling::item[1]"/></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="following-sibling::item[2]"/></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="following-sibling::item[3]"/></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="following-sibling::item[4]"/></td>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>

There are other solutions involving recursive templates.
