There may be a tricky-almost-unreadable regex solution, but this one is pretty readable, and easy.
The first parameter of the .Substring() method is where you start getting the characters, and the second is the number of characters you want to get, and not giving it sets a default as value.length -1 (get chars until the end of the string):
–[edit]–
Just noticed you didn’t use one of the numbers AT ALL (number ‘7’) in the expected result example you gave, but if you want it, just change the last substring as “5”, and if you want the ‘7’ but don’t want 5 numbers in the last set, let it like “5,4”.
