Tex Live Longtable Insert Continued on Next Page

I have a long table of 4 rows. I'd like help to make the table look better.

(based on comments, this is not possible to do using longtable. Is there a different table environment or package I can use to do this? as long as the data remains all in a table looking environment of some sort, I am ok with it).

The second row is small, and the third row is large. Latex leaves lots of empty space after the second row before starting the third row

The third row is large, and longtable does not break this row but overflows to the bottom of the page. How to correct this output?

MWE:
