Hi Dennis,
I guess in this case, instead of "Eletrode1" occuring 3 times, it is "Electrode4" exists only 6 times.  If that is the situation:
just change:
XXX: data
rl<-rle(as.character(XXX$electrode))
 dat<-do.call(rbind,lapply(seq_along(rl$lengths),function(i){x1<-if(rl$values[i]=="electrode4" & (rl$lengths[i]%/%6>1)) rep(6,rl$lengths[i]%/%6) else rl$lengths[i];data.frame(Len=x1,Val=rl$values[i])}))
 lst1<-split(cumsum(dat[,1]),((seq_along(dat[,1])-1)%/%2)+1)
vec1<-sapply(lst1,max)
vec2<-c(1,vec1[-length(vec1)]+1)
res<-  lapply(seq_along(lst1),function(i) {x1<-lst1[[i]]; XXX[seq(vec2[i],max(x1)),]})

Hi Rui & Arun,
really thanks for investing so much time to deal with this problem! The code works now for this specific example. However it is not generally robust for slightly different situations. For instance it cannot correctly handle a slight variation of the table where I have again 4 types of electrodes of certain lengths. Electrode4 exists only 6 times. At the transition of the combinations 3-4 and 4-1 there are 12 times electrode4 which stick together in the output $`9`. This leads to wrong splittings thereafter. Sorry for asking such tricky questions.

However as can be seen by rows 1-3 (or rows 17-19 and rows 20-22) and the order of the length variable (row 1 = 5.7, row 2 = 6.3, row 3 = 6.2) electrode1 consists only of 3 rows. Maybe that was not made absolutely clear by me. As described in my mail before if by chance (or systematically) it happens to be that electrode1 appears right after each other in the table then the code should split it “half way”.
