The boards that the top is made from should already be configured in the same way as the illustration in post #2. Hard to tell what size the table is but I'm guessing that there are 4 or 5 individual boards in the top.
I don't disagree that narrower boards (configured like the illustration in post #2) will be much less likely to warp but if you don't have the tools and equipment to do the work, not to mention that you would loose a considerable amount of overall width from the thickness of the saw blade with each cut.
I believe that ol'George is on the right track, a good soaking on the top side with water will help keep the top from splitting and when laid top side down, and the sun will draw the edges up. You'll probably have to keep a close eye on it so that you don't warp it back too much. Then clamp it to something flat until it's good and dry (probably not in the sun this time).
Good Luck with your project.
