Netbeans is Java, isn't it? So you could use Saxon 9 and XSLT 2.0:

<xsl:stylesheet
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
  xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
  exclude-result-prefixes="xs"
  version="2.0">

  <xsl:output method="html" indent="yes"/>
  <xsl:param name="x" select="5"/>


  <xsl:template match="work_notes">
    <div>
      <xsl:for-each-group select="tokenize(normalize-space(), '\s+')" 
group-by="(position() - 1) idiv $x">
        <xsl:value-of select="current-group()"/>
        <br />
      </xsl:for-each-group>
    </div>
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Output is

<div>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,<br>consectetur adipisicing elit, sed 
do<br>eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore<br>et dolore magna aliqua. 
Ut<br>enim ad minim veniam, quis<br>nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris 
nisi<br>ut aliquip ex ea commodo<br>consequat. Duis aute irure 
dolor<br>in reprehenderit in voluptate velit<br>esse cillum dolore eu 
fugiat<br>nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat<br>cupidatat non 
proident, sunt in<br>culpa qui officia deserunt mollit<br>anim id est 
laborum.<br></div>
