listView = FindViewById<ListView>(Resource.Id.ListViewForSubProfiles);
listView.Adapter = new SelectProfileAdapter(this, items);

You can use the GetRange() method to get part of a List, so in your example you need to know how many items you want in each group to split them properly, but let's say you have 10 items and you want to put 5 in each ListView, you can do this:

List<TableItem> firstList = items.GetRange(0, 5);
List<TableItem> secondList = items.GetRange(5, 5);

If you want to jump ahead, you can just the list when you set the adapter:

listView.Adapter = new SelectProfileAdapter(this, items.GetRange(startIndex, numItems));
