You don't NEED to track the number of items:

PHP is happy to do that for you:

$a[$i][] = "next item";

5. I want to slice the large array into $c arrays that
begin and end around items in the large array
containing '<br><br>\n';
This is as much abstraction as I can give you
In context it is represented by several hundred lines of function
code.

I strongly suspect that you could simplify your code to a large degree...

Post a small "slice" out of your data and see what folks think.

You may be taking a very long route to your destination...
