I think you'd just have to do it manually with a reduce

Something like this should work.

(defn foldfn [i n]
  (let [result (first i)
        current (second i)]
    (if (re-matches #"^(\w)\1.*" n)
      (if (= [] current)
        [result [n]]
        [(conj result current) [n]])
      [result (conj current n)])))

(defn partition-lst
  [lst]
  (let [reduced (reduce foldfn [[][]] lst)
        result (first reduced)
        current (second reduced)]
    (if (= current [])
      result
      (conj result current))))
