One way to do this: (Untested, use with extreme caution)
-----------------------------------------------------------
$pieces = explode('*', $long_character_chain);
while (!empty($pieces)) {
$number = array_shift($pieces);
$link = array_shift($pieces);
$name = array_shift($pieces);
// do whatever you need to make your link
}
