Eu li algumas perguntas sobre: longtablee como ajustá-las à largura da página, mas não obtive sucesso. No exemplo, a tabela se ajusta à largura da página, mas sai das margens especificadas. MWE anexado. Obrigado!

Acho que a tabela ficaria muito melhor se você (a) usasse 'raggedright' em vez de alinhamento centralizado e (b) usasse espaçamento simples. Além disso, examine a exatidão da sua afirmação de que "a tabela se ajusta à largura da página". Nos meus cálculos (mostrados no código abaixo), as larguras das colunas devem ser estritamente inferiores a 8 cm.
Ah, e observe que longtableos ambientes são centralizados automaticamente - não há necessidade de encaixá-los em centerambientes.

Pessoalmente eu usaria ltablex(faz tabularxuma "longtable") e depois as tabularxcolunas (como você quiser usar tabularxde qualquer maneira). Aqui está uma imagem da saída (com showframe, para que você possa ver que cabe na margem):
