  <xsl:template match="sn_servicioproyecto">
    <xsl:variable name="cols" select="3"/>
    <table>
      <tbody>
        <xsl:for-each select="informacion/sn_masterinformacion[position() mod $cols = 1]">
          <tr>
            <xsl:for-each select=". | following-sibling::sn_masterinformacion[position() &lt;= 2]">
              <td>
                <xsl:value-of select="paginas/sn_paginas/paginas_titulo"/>
              </td>
            </xsl:for-each>
            <!-- filler -->
            <xsl:for-each select="(document('')//node())[position() &lt; ($cols - count(current()/following-sibling::sn_masterinformacion))]">
              <td/>
            </xsl:for-each>
          </tr>
        </xsl:for-each>
      </tbody>
    </table>
  </xsl:template>

The filler bit above isn't really that efficient, e.g.

  <xsl:if test="not(following-sibling::sn_masterinformacion[1])">
    <td/>
    <xsl:if test="not(following-sibling::sn_masterinformacion[2])">
      <td/>
    </xsl:if>
  </xsl:if>

is faster and more readable.
