I don't have a latex manual handy but here is one approach. Instead of
the usual entry at that point you can give
	\multicolumn{1}{c}{Whatever you want centered}

Inside the parbox you should use

	\begin{spacing}{0.5}
		....
	\end{spacing}

It would help a bit if you "wrapped lines" while mailing.
