How to split a table in two within a page or continue table on next page

Question

Have a long table that I want to split in several pages, or, alternatively, break into two within the same page. I am quite new to LaTeX, so struggling a little to make longtable work

\begin{threeparttable}[!htbp] \centering

Sorry for repeated question,

Welcome to TeX.SX! See How to convert table to longtable being able to break across pages? or Make a table span multiple pages. If that does not solve your problem please extend your code a minimal working example (MWE). — dexteritas, Oct 01 '22 at 17:15

in order to split a table into several pages you could use longtable package.

\usepackage{longtable}
...
\begin{center}
\begin{longtable}{p{.1\textline} | p{.3\textline} | p{.3\textline} | p{.3\textline}}
\caption{A sample long table.} \label{tab:long} \
\hline
\multicolumn{1}{|c|}{\textbf{Main Idea}} & \multicolumn{1}{c|}{\textbf{Source 1}} &
 \multicolumn{1}{c|}{\textbf{Source 2}} & \multicolumn{1}{c|}{\textbf{Source 3}} \
\hline 
\endfirsthead
\multicolumn{4}{c}{{\bfseries \tablename\ \thetable{} -- continued from previous page}} \
\hline 
\multicolumn{1}{|c|}{\textbf{Main Idea}} & \multicolumn{1}{c|}{\textbf{Source 1}} &
\multicolumn{1}{c|}{\textbf{Source 2}} & \multicolumn{1}{c|}{\textbf{Source 3}} \
\hline 
\endhead
\hline
\multicolumn{4}{|r|}{{Continued on next page}} \
\hline
\endfoot
\hline
\hline
\endlastfoot
Zero & One & abcdef ghjijklmn & 123.456778 \
Zero & \small \lipsum[1] \normalsize & abcdef ghjijklmn & 123.456778 \
Zero & \small \lipsum[4] \normalsize & abcdef ghjijklmn & \small \lipsum[2] \normalsize \
\end{longtable}
\end{center}

Probably to late for OP but may help to someone else ...
Your main problem is (apparently) to rewrite your table accordingly. This is your job, you can not expected that this instead of you will do someone else here.
To fit your table in one page, you have two possibilities:
- as is suggested in other answer
- split table into two parallel parts, i.e in the middle of existing table insert

\end{tabular}
\hfill
\begin{tabular}{...}

The second case, which require less work with table editing, doesn't work in threeparttable. Instead it you should use float table and write table notes as ordinary text below the second tabular.
Since table is quite large, You need in table to reduce
- font size (to \small)
- \tabcolsep, for example to 3p
- \arraystretch, for example to 0.95 (see code fragment below)
For more professional look and better readable I suggest to use rules defined in booktabs package and inserted some vertical space after each ten rows (or more frequently if you liked):

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[skip=1ex, font=small, labelfont=bf]{caption}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{siunitx}
\begin{document}
    \begin{table}[ht]
    \caption{Descriptive Statistics Nationality. Treatment: Frequency and Percentage}
    \label{tab:Table7}
    \setlength\tabcolsep{3pt}
    \renewcommand\arraystretch{0.95}
    \small
\begin{tabular}[t]{@{} lSS @{}}
    \toprule
                    &{Frequency}&{Percentage}   \
