Default Sequential Numbering on Tickets Multiple number Sequences

I've been printing tickets that require sequential numbering and have that working but I have some issues that are bigger then my knowledge.

I have a word document with a table of 6 exact cells on a full page table. In those cell areas I have been printing tickets with a list and a mail merge and updating labels. I call to an excel list of 1-2000 and then I generate all the pages through the Finish and Merge option. This all works perfect. I get 2000 individually numbered tickets to print...however...I then have six tickets printed on a page of paper with ticket numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ,6 then the next page has 7,8,9,10,11,12. This is fine but I then have to cut and stack these tickets in groups of six and at that point none of the numbering is sequential. The tickets are basically random.

Any suggestions on the best way to split the 6 regions so that the top left region would be 1-335, then the middle top would be 336-670, Then the top right would be 671-1005, then bottom left would be 1006 - 1340, Then bottom middle would be 1341-1675, then the final bottom right region would be 1676-2010?

So the first page of numbers and regions would look like this:

1 336 671

1006 1341 2011

The second page would look like this:
2 337 672

1007 1342 2012

The third page would look like this:
3 338 673

1008 1343 2013

Plus the bad news....I'm an artist not a programmer simple terms and suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.
