divide a string every 15 characters

I want to divide this string into 5 strings long 15 characters
A = ["+6.64430238e+00+1.14987825e-02-4.68099585e-06+9.62334222e-10-8.24360065e-14"]; %from this
B = ["+6.64430238e+00" "+1.14987825e-02" "-4.68099585e-06" "+9.62334222e-10" "-8.24360065e-14"]; %to this

Try this —
A = ["+6.64430238e+00+1.14987825e-02-4.68099585e-06+9.62334222e-10-8.24360065e-14"];
B = string(reshape(char(A),15,[])')'
B = 1×5 string array
"+6.64430238e+00" "+1.14987825e-02" "-4.68099585e-06" "+9.62334222e-10" "-8.24360065e-14"
.

thank you very helpfull!!
As always, my pleasure!
@Star Strider: How does this work with string methods only?
This is 20 times slower:
function B = StepSplit(A, w)
len = strlength(A);
n = ceil(len / w);
B = strings(1, n);
c = 1;
for k = 1:n - 1
B(k) = extractBetween(A, c, c + w);
c = c + w;
end
B(n) = extractBetween(A, c, len);
end
I did not experiment with string methods. I found an approach that worked, and went with it.
