Some range which takes an at compile time known number of

there's no such thing in Phobos.
There is chunks:

Yea, but that won't work for forward ranges. It only provides
opIndex if the underlying range provides it. Since the chunk size
is a runtime parameter it can't implement opIndex efficiently for
non-random access ranges.
staticChunks was a bit of a misnomer. staticTake would be a
better name. The range would contains a static array and pops
that number of elements from the input range. Then, opIndex can
easily be defined.
