You can use regular expression to achieve this,

var result = "3 rolls 7 buns 9 bars 7 cooks".split(/\s(?=\d)/);
conosole.log(result); //["3 rolls", "7 buns", "9 bars", "7 cooks"]

The regex concept used here is positive look ahead.

You can use String.prototype.match() with RegExp /\d+\s+\w+/g to match one or more digit characters followed by one or more space characters followed by one or more word characters

var str = "3 rolls 7 buns 9 bars 7 cooks";
var res = str.match(/\d+\s+\w+/g);
console.log(res);
