This is how it can be done

Add <!--*--> to the end of the filelist template (convert to &lt;!--*--&gt; in the template)
The script counts the number of <!--*--> tags and splits the filelist after the 5th tag

<!--parser:xtscript--> var $list=<xt:filelist folder="/images" template="&lt;a href=&quot;.file_url.?__xt_download=1&quot;&gt;.file_name_base_parsed.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--*--&gt;" per_page="10"> var $count=1 var $pos=0 @loop var $pos=call strpos $haystack=$list; $needle=<!--*-->; $offset=($pos+1); if $count<5 var $count=($count+1) goto @loop endif var $l1=call substr $val=$list; $start=0 ; $length=$pos var $l2=call substr $val=$list; $start=$pos <!--/parser:xtscript--> <div>{_$$l1|}<xt:include file="/file" />{_$$l2|}</div>
