Yes.

There's no real reason why a single file can't be a separate package;
finer division would help with tuning dependencies. The original
reason for packages consisting of multiple more-or-less independent
libraries was that Steve Baur didn't have time to split up more
finely, and the XEmacs team was responsible for more packages then.
It's up to you now, but I thought you'd appreciate the historical
background for the current arrangement.
If you do put it into one of the existing packages, it would be a good
idea to add a one-line blurb saying where table.el is found to
man/xemacs/packages.texi.
