    // would love to start another loop here which will loop two times 
    <td>$custid<td>

    // and end loop here

   {/section}

Answer 1

You can use the mod operator with the current loop index, something like this (not tested) would probably work:

{section name=customer loop=$custid}
    {assign var="column" value=$smarty.section.customer.index%2}

    {if $column==0}<tr>{/if}
    <td>$custid<td>
    {if $column==1 || $smarty.section.customer.last}</tr>{/if}
{/section}
