Here is a recursive solution to add to the loops:

(defun divide-in-pairs (list)
(cond ((not (listp list)) (error "non-list argument"))
((null list) nil)
((null (cdr list)) (error "odd number of elements"))
((null (cddr list)) (list list))
(t (cons (list (first list) (second list))
(divide-in-pairs (cddr list))))))
