I want to convert

[1] "abcd" "de" "fghijk"
to
[1] "ab" "cd" "de" "fg" "hi" "jk"
i.e., split strings into substrings of a given length (2 in the above
example, 9 in my real problem).
actually, better yet, from
> data.frame(id=1:3,data=c("abcd","de","fghijk"))
id data
1 1 abcd
2 2 de
3 3 fghijk
to
id data
1 1 ab
2 1 cd
3 2 de
4 3 fg
5 3 hi
6 3 jk
