If you were feeling so inclined, you could structure this as a lazy sequence 
(like 'partition' does)

(defn lazy-break
  [coll]
  (letfn [(break-paired [pairs]
            (lazy-seq
             (when-let [s (seq pairs)]
               (let [p (doall (take-while (fn [[a b]] (= (inc a) b)) pairs))
                     cutpoint (count p)]
                 (cons (concat p [(nth pairs cutpoint)])
                       (break-paired (drop (inc cutpoint) pairs)))))))]
    (map #(map first %) (break-paired (map vector coll (rest coll))))))

user> (take 2 (lazy-break (concat (range 4) (range 3) (range))))
((0 1 2 3) (0 1 2))
