Usually, these rows contain a single cell that straddles all of the columns, so that the footnote text is not unnaturally restricted to the width of the first column:
<table>
<tgroup cols="3">
...
<tfoot>
<row>
<entry namest="col-1" nameend="col-3">This is a footnote, spanning all columns!</entry>
</row>
</tfoot>
</tgroup>
</table>
