I have a repeating-data section. In general they are differing sizes, but I would like insert formatting macros around each data block. For example: make each block an element in a 3 column table.

I think it would be nice to have either a format parameter for repeating data or a way to have headers and footers for each row similar to the reporting plugin. We may also need a parameter to state how many blocks are in each row.

I agree - I would have found it handy myself on occasion. The main problem is that the current macros simply use the whole body text as the repeating content. As such, adding a {repeating-data-header} or similar will require some modifications. Probably the best way will be to either allow the current system (for simple options and backwards-compatibility) or use a multi-macro system like so:

{repeating-data}
{data-header}This is the header{data-header}
{data-body}This is the repeating {text-data:Body}{data-body}
{data-footer}This is the footer.{data-header}
{data-empty}This is empty.{data-header}
{repeating-data}

If any '{data-xxx}' sections exist, it will use/require the others also.

Anyway, I'll see what we can do in a future release.
