You can try this function:

subseq sequence start &optional end

The start parameter is your offset. The end parameter can be easily turned into the number of elements to grab by simply adding start + number-of-elements.

A small bonus is that subseq works on all sequences, this includes not only lists but also string and vectors.

Edit: It seems that not all lisp implementations have subseq, though it will do the job just fine if you have it.
