Default Text to Columns - Only want to split SPECIFIC NUMBER of times

I am trying to split names across columns. The problem is that some names
spilt into 3 columns (first, middle, last), and others split across 5 or 6
(extra names, etc.)

Is there a way to specify split, using SPACE as a delimiter, but only split
on the first TWO spaces, then leave the rest alone?

I'm having a terrible time figuring this out. Any ideas anyone?

Thank you so much!

Mary
