I have a whole bunch of sequences of numbers, like this:
   5.1816,
   -3.81,
   4.8768,
   5.1816,
   -4.4196,
   4.8768,
   6.4008,
   -4.4196,
   5.48640,
   6.4008,
   -3.81,
   5.486400;

I'd like to be able to make it look like this easily:
   5.1816, -3.81,  4.8768,
   5.1816, -4.4196, 4.8768,
   6.4008, -4.4196, 5.486400,
   6.4008, -3.81,   5.48640

3 numbers per row.
Suggestions?  Some variation of fill-paragraph?

Let's play emacs golf: (I assume no whitespace and cursor at the initial 5):

F3 C-e <space> C-d C-e <space> C-d C-e <backspace> C-n C-a F4 C-0 F4

14 key strokes.
