Subject: Way to split a string based on fixed length?

This is probably a newb question but I can't seem to figure it out.  I
have a string I'm trying to parse, that is done via a fixed length
format - it needs to be split on every 8th character in order for me to
get a proper array list of it so I can do some additional operations on
it.

The string is something like this: '0000000N0000000N0000000N0000000N'
and I need it to be an array containing something like: ['0000000N',
'0000000N', '0000000N', '0000000N'].

Is there a ruby method I can use to split the single string into groups
of x number of characters, when there is no delimiter?
