Is it possible to split and join with gap in SVG filter?

Question

HTML

I don’t understand much about SVG, maybe something like that is not possible in principle.
The idea is to take an HTML element that has an arbitrary height, cut it into equal-sized pieces vertically, and put those pieces back together by inserting something between them.

Before:	After:

Only instead of colored squares there will be HTML content.
I've looked at existing SVG filters, but I don't think there's any such repetition (with increasing offset from the start). Is this even possible with SVG? A link to similar demos would be very helpful.
