Personally, I would break them up with headings, so you have so many per
heading. That will help everyone, as people scan things. Plus, screen
reader users can jump heading to heading.

Make sure the headings are descriptive, so everyone knows why the links are
'bundled' under each heading.

Cheers

Avoid using multiple links with the same name
If you are using graphical links, then you do not need a link with the same text.
I often run into webpages where I’ll see three or four links with the name of the product and it can be very confusing
And I also agree use heading structure make sure the headings indicate what type of bookmarks are going to be located underneath it.
The headings do not need to be links.
However, if you make them links, they can take you to specific parts of the page where you will find your additional bookmarks.
That’s my two cents :-)

It's great that you've restructured your data and addressed the suggestions. Regarding your question about "max-width: 400px;" on tables, it can be relevant for responsive design on mobile devices, limiting the width for better readability. Consider testing it across devices to ensure optimal display. Whether to create a separate thread depends on the forum's guidelines and the complexity of the observation.
