Use the split() function in R to split a vector or data frame. Use the unsplit() method to retrieve the split vector or data frame.
Split a vector into sub-vectors of size n in C++We start by determining the total number of sub-vectors of size n formed from the input vector. Then we iterate the given vector, and in each iteration of the loop, we process the next set of n elements and copy it to a new vector using the std::copy algorithm.
A one-liner splitting d into chunks of size 20:
split(d, ceiling(seq_along(d)/20))
More details: I think all you need is seq_along(), split() and ceiling():
> d <- rpois(73,5)
> d
[1] 3 1 11 4 1 2 3 2 4 10 10 2 7 4 6 6 2 1 1 2 3 8 3 10 7 4
[27] 3 4 4 1 1 7 2 4 6 0 5 7 4 6 8 4 7 12 4 6 8 4 2 7 6 5
[53] 4 5 4 5 5 8 7 7 7 6 2 4 3 3 8 11 6 6 1 8 4
> max <- 20
> x <- seq_along(d)
> d1 <- split(d, ceiling(x/max))
> d1

chunk2 <- function(x,n) split(x, cut(seq_along(x), n, labels = FALSE))
A simplified version:
n = 3
split(x, sort(x%%n))
NB: This will only work on numeric vectors.
Try the ggplot2 function, cut_number:
library(ggplot2)
x <- 1:10
n <- 3
cut_number(x, n) # labels = FALSE if you just want an integer result
#> [1] [1,4] [1,4] [1,4] [1,4] (4,7] (4,7] (4,7] (7,10] (7,10] (7,10]
#> Levels: [1,4] (4,7] (7,10]
# if you want it split into a list:
split(x, cut_number(x, n))
#> $`[1,4]`
#> [1] 1 2 3 4
#>
#> $`(4,7]`
#> [1] 5 6 7
#>
#> $`(7,10]`
#> [1] 8 9 10
