Dividing large lists of items into pages often is necessary. Here is one way to approach it, passing the page/group number as part of the query string. 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE xsl:Stylesheet [
<!ENTITY nbsp "&#x00A0;">

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl=http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform

  <xsl:output method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
  <xsl:param name="currentPage"/>

  <!-- Parameters

  -->
  <xsl:variable name="RootNode" select="/macro/rootNode"/>
  <xsl:variable name="numberOfItems" select="/macro/numberOfItems"/>
  <xsl:variable name="GroupNo">

    <xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when test="umbraco.library:RequestQueryString('GroupNo') &lt;= 0 or
                               string(umbraco.library:RequestQueryString('GroupNo')) = '' or
                               string(umbraco.library:RequestQueryString('GroupNo')) = 'NaN'">0</xsl:when>
