I haven't worked with much Latex syntax so I'm not quite sure what stylization changes I need to make here.
I have a large piece of Latex as such:

The outputted PDF, however, looks like this:
Where both the bottom and right side of the table are cut off. I tried using longtable as you can see, but that doesn't seem to do much. I'm not sure if I need to rotate the table, or shift the table right, or allow for extra pages, or what.
A couple of ideas:
don't use a tabular
inside the longtable
. Longtable is meant to be used instead and not around a tabular
if your table is already too big to fit the page, don't make it even bigger by manual adding extracolsep
use the paper in landscape to get more space
reduce the margins
use fixed width columns to force line breaks to make the columns smaller
the variables names in the first columns are very long and latex won't be able to hyphenate them automatically. Define possible break points
place the df
values in a new row to make the columns smaller
if this all does not help, use bigger paper or split the table in multiple tables with fewer columns
