[R] How to make sub-headers in R

Thank you very much for trying to help me. Using following R codes, I can generate a LaTeX long table which can repeat "Age" and "Interval & 0 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 & 9 & 10 & 11 & Totals" as title and subtitle across multiple pages. However, the part of "0 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 & 9 & 10 & 11" is for fish ages (I am working on fish) which vary between species and years within each species, and R can't update this part according to different species and years. As a result, I have to manually update it in either my R or LaTeX codes, which I am trying to avoid in order to save time and to minimize errors. It looks like there is no solution to my problem so far. Anyway, thank you again and have a good weekend.
age.addtorow <- list()
age.addtorow$pos <- list()
age.addtorow$pos[[1]] <- c(0)
age.addtorow$command <- c(paste("\\hline \n",
"\\endfirsthead \n",
"\\multicolumn{4}{l}{{", paste("Table", "\\thetable\\ Continued}}", paste("\\", "\\", sep="")), paste("\n"),
"\\hline \n",
"\\multicolumn{7}{r}{{Age}}", paste("\\", "\\", sep=""), paste("\n"),
"\\hline \n",
"Interval & 0 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 & 9 & 10 & 11 & Totals", paste("\\", "\\", sep=""), paste("\n"),
"\\hline \n",
"\\endhead \n",
"\\hline \n",
"{\\footnotesize To continue} \n",
"\\endfoot \n",
"\\endlastfoot \n",sep=""))
print(x.age.composition, file=output.age.composition.location.file, include.rownames = FALSE,
include.colnames = TRUE, hline.after = c(-1, -1, 0, 1, nrow(x.age.composition), nrow(x.age.composition)), type="latex",
append=FALSE, floating=FALSE, tabular.environment = "longtable", na.print = "", caption.placement = "top",
sanitize.colnames.function = force, add.to.row = age.addtorow))

I don't see that being an option in xtable ... but looking at this:
http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/33510/how-do-i-create-the-headings-for-this-multirow-multicolum-table
... it seems to be pretty straightforward to write a function that writes LaTeX output from your dataframe for the Tex multirow package.

I can use "xtable()" and "print()" to generate a LaTeX table of it with "Age" as title. However, I would like to make the second row "Interval (Inch) ........." as sub-title so that both the title and sub-title can be repeated on every page in my long table split among multiple pages. In LaTeX, "\endhead" can repeat title but not the row of "Interval ..." because it is not title or sub-title. I can copy and paste "Interval..." above "\endhead" to get the repetition of "Interval...". However, I am trying to learn how to avoid "copy and paste", instead, let LaTeX do the job automatically. I know that I am making the question more complicated than my original one and hope it is clear enough this time.

That they might also be useful in presenting data in output is coincidental. The fact that many data input functions replace spaces in those labels with periods should convince you of this fact.

For example the tables package has many options for labeling columns if you are generating HTML or LaTeX output. Or, you could write your own function to generate any output format you want.
