Data into 3 even columns

I have an XML file with make and model car data (example at the end). It has an unknown number of makes and an unknown number of models per make. I want to use an XSLT doc to format it into 3 even columns. Ideally it wouldn't break the makes up but it counts both makes and models in the total count. See the desired output below.
I am new to XML and have gotten the output to work except this part. I can get the count but I don't know how to break the data up evenly. Any ideas? Is it possible?
<data>
<make name="ford">
<model>mustang</model>
</make>
<make name="honda">
<model>civic</model>
<model>accord</model>
</make>
<make name="toyota">
<model>corolla</model>
<model>rav4</model>
<model>tundra</model>
</make>
<make name="hummer">
<model>h1</model>
<model>h2</model>
</make> </data>
----------> to ----------->
<div style="float: left">
<ul>
<li class="make">ford</li>
<li class="model">mustang</li>
<li class="make">honda</li>
<li class="model">civic</li>
<li class="model">accord</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="float: left">
<ul>
<li class="make">toyota</li>
<li class="model">corolla</li>
<li class="model">rav4</li>
<li class="model">tundra</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="float: left">
<ul>
<li class="make">hummer</li>
<li class="model">h1</li>
<li class="model">h2</li>
</ul>
</div>
