This might work for you: If the "master list" is in A1:Ax and you want
to bump 4 rows at a time into B1:B4, C1:C4, etc., try one of these
formulae in B1:B4 and fill right as needed:

=INDEX($A$1:$A$x,4*(COLUMN()-1)+ROW()) [fix $A$x to suit your range]

=OFFSET($A$1,4*(COLUMN()-1)+ROW()-1,) [no adjustment required]
