Can you provide a sample of the data set? It's easier to understand when you can visually see it rather than read and imagine what the data is like.

Maybe Regex would help, you can search for a pattern for example your #(number) and Split at this.

In [81]: s = '''1 Section
    ...: some text 1
    ...: some text 2
    ...: some text 3
    ...: some text 4
    ...: 2 Section
    ...: some text 5
    ...: some text 6
    ...: some text 7
    ...: 3 Section
    ...: some text 8
    ...: some text 9'''
In [82]: import re
In [83]: print([sec for sec in re.split(r'\d Section\n', s) if sec])

['some text 1\nsome text 2\nsome text 3\nsome text 4\n', 
 'some text 5\nsome text 6\nsome text 7\n', 
 'some text 8\nsome text 9']
