Yes I know, Sphinx lets you use many syntax to achieve the same goal but
the LaTeX writer is more strict as the LaTeX markup itself is sometimes
tricky to master (a single space may have unexpected results in some
complex situations).

Especially for tables where it's so easy to break the output. What I've
seen in your generated markup is that "somehow" the +'s generated
multirow content for each row, resulting into some hell-recursion for
the parser.

I would highly suggest, moreover for such a large document, to locally
test the PDF rendering.

Cheers
Xavier
