Tumor?
Can you just put the table at the end of the appendix and refer to it as Table X?
I said I'm sorry. I've made mistakes, but fear was never one of them.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

One of my math textbooks actually had a "lagniappe" section.

Speaking as a reader with no scholarly reading bent aside from hockey books, I'd say adding a little "see figure n" footnote in the appendix and adding it to the end might work. But an appendix to an appendix definitely evokes the image of Burgess Meredith in coke bottle glasses pulling a book off a top library shelf and blowing an inch of dust off it.

Yeah, I was afraid of that. The problem is, after I put together, it is not just a table. It needs some explanation. I've avoided appendixes to appendixes everywhere else.
OK- I can borrow from journalists and textbooks - put in a long sidebar, or pullout or whatever they call it.
Or else I can just suck it up, and make the appendix a long one. If you've turned to the appendix presumably you are interested in the subject. So OK, this appendix is a bit detailed.

If I only had a brain...
You could make Appendix B "Lemma to Appendix A" or "Details of Section 5 in Appendix A" or something like that.

In the interests of expanding my literary education, I downloaded Austen's "Northanger Abbey" from Gutenberg Project. I did not expect to laugh out loud twice before I got halfway through the first paragraph. Jane Austen can be snarky! What a lovely discovery. I might need to find a hard copy of this so I can read it on the bus and snicker in delight and have people give me funny looks. It always seems to amaze people that someone could be having a good time reading something in a "classic literature" binding. When I was reading "The Odyssey" and obviously getting into it, people kept asking me if I was reading it for a class. They looked utterly boggled when I said No.

Jane Austen can be snarky!
She kind of invented it.

Northanger Abbey was my introduction to Jane Austen. It was love at first snark.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Not to mention the second reading of Sense and Sensibility. Marianne's superior attitude at the beginning becomes so much more comic when you know what's going to happen to her later.
