Hello Simon,
This is simple using a Perl text filter (see text filters in the user manual).
#! /usr/bin/env perl -0777 -nsw
s!.{5}!$& !g;
s!.{2000}!$&\n\n¶\n\n!gs;
print;
However the devil is in the details.
What exactly do you mean by every 5 characters?
Does this include horizontal and/or vertical whitespace?
What do you mean by page? Pagination? Or a separate document?
What is your source data like?
10,000 characters or 10 Terabytes?
Can you provide a sample?
