Split string in 512 char chunks

Question

Maybe a basic question but let us say I have a string that is 2000 characters long, I need to split this string into max 512 character chunks each.

Is there a nice way,

Generic extension method:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;

public static class IEnumerableExtensions
{
  public static IEnumerable> SplitToChunks (this IEnumerable coll, int chunkSize)
  {
    int skipCount = 0;
    while (coll.Skip (skipCount).Take (chunkSize) is IEnumerable part && part.Any ())
    {
      skipCount += chunkSize;
      yield return part;
    }
  }
}

class Program
{
  static void Main (string[] args)
  {
    var col = Enumerable.Range(1,1<<10);
    var chunks = col.SplitToChunks(8);

    foreach (var c in chunks.Take (200))
    {
      Console.WriteLine (string.Join (" ", c.Select (n => n.ToString ("X4"))));
    }

    Console.WriteLine ();
    Console.WriteLine ();

    "Split this text into parts that are fifteen characters in length, surrounding each part with single quotes and output each into the console on seperate lines."
      .SplitToChunks (15)
      .Select(p => $"'{string.Concat(p)}'")
      .ToList ()
      .ForEach (p => Console.WriteLine (p));

    Console.ReadLine ();
  }
}
