Default excel should cut & paste lists side by side to save paper

I have a list that has 1800 rows and only 4 colums. Excel should allow me to
automatically break the list and have it put side by side, across the page.
This would take a list of 35 pages and put it on approximately 9 pages. I
could cut & paste, but there must be an easier method.

Should be fairly easy with a looping macro.
Just decide how many rows you want per 'page' and then starting in the
first cell, have the macro drop down the no. of rows, select all the
rows below this, cut them and paste back on the first row but offset 4
columns, then repeat until 1800/n_rows times.
