Would it help if I joined the legs to each other at the bottom end with
another square of batten?

As you describe it the table would 'rack' back & forth. Another square of
batten would help, as would diagonal braces. Better idea if it's possible,
screw sheets of ply on three sides to make a box like structure.

Another thought have you considered clamping the table top in a workmate or
similar? That's what I did on my first home made table.

IIRC Makro had a table inc router for about £50?
