Move values from pair rows to columns on unpair rows

I have a system that exports data to a file that is imported into Power Query with this format:

Column1Column2Column3Column4Column5Column6
abc   
def   
ghi   
jkl   
mno   
pqr   

The values of pair rows must be in columns 4, 5 and 6 of the unpair columns. The results should be something like this:

Column1Column2Column3Column4Column5Column6
abcdef
ghijkl
mnopq

r

 

Is there any way to do this transformation in Power Query?

Hi

 

=Table.FromRows(List.Transform(List.Split(Table.ToRows(Previous_Step),2), List.Combine))
