Question

table1

value

100 x 200 x 300 x 400  `I want to split this row bcoz more than 2 values`
100 x 200
1300 x 1400
200 x 300 x 1200 x 2200  `I want to split this row bcoz more than 2 values`
....

Value column is not fixed length, it may also contain 10 x 200 x 3000 x 5

I want to take the first 2 values then the next 2 values will go to the next row after x

I want to split the rows like this:

Expected Output

100 x 200 
300 x 400
100 x 200
1300 x 1400
200 x 300 
1200 x 2200
....

Hint:

We can split the value for each x then we can join 2 values

for example 20 x 10 x 5 x 1

Split like this 20, 10 5, 1 then join 20 x 10, 5 x 1

The above method will work out, if it work out means then can i get some query for splitting and joining the rows..

How can I do this in SQL?

Need SQL Query Help

SELECT Rtrim(Substring(value, 1, CHARINDEX( 'x' , value, CHARINDEX( 'x', value) + 1) - 2))
FROM (SELECT value
    FROM table1
    Where LEN(value) - LEN(REPLACE(value, 'x', '')) >= 2) as temp
UNION ALL 
SELECT Substring(value, CHARINDEX( 'x' , value, CHARINDEX( 'x', value) + 1) + 2, LEN(value))
FROM (SELECT value
FROM table1
Where LEN(value) - LEN(REPLACE(value, 'x', '')) >= 2) as temp1
