XSLT to Split string to nearest whole word and comma

I am trying to achieve XSLT transformation with below rules while transforming 'Description' text. I have achieved the straight forward splitting of text into 35 characters strings but could not achieve below adjustments.



The free text 'Description' will be split among each of the 5 'Description' line text fields.
At most each field should accept 35 characters.
Ideally the free text string should be split on the nearest whole word or “,” to prevent a word being split over multiple lines.
However if the word is greater than 35 characters this will not be possible. The free text 'Description' will be truncated to a total of 175 characters (5*35).
Based on number of characters after above adjustment, output should be displayed as below



<Description1>This is First Line Of Text With</Description1>
<Description2>Large Word Added Here</Description2>


Please help me.Thanks in advance.
