Large XML file - wrapping elements inside tags using XSLT or manipulating XML as a String?

I have a fairly large XML file about 3-4 MB in size, and I need to wrap some elements inside the tags. My Xml has the following structure:

<body>
    <p></p>
    <p>
        <sectPr></sectPr>
    </p>
    <p></p>
    <p></p>
    <tbl></tbl>
    <p>
        <sectPr></sectPr>
    </p>
</body>

Of course, all items pand tblwill be repeated in bodybefore the end of the file (and each of the above elements have children - I just took them for my sake of simplicity). As an estimate, I will have about 70 elements sectPrinside body, not necessarily in the order described above.

What I would like to do is wrap all the elements that begin with the element containing sectPr, in the next element containing sectPr, in another tag. As a result, my XML should look like this:

<body>
    <p></p>
    <myTag>
        <p>
            <sectPr></sectPr>
        </p>
        <p></p>
        <p></p>
        <tbl></tbl>
    </myTag>
    <myTag>
        <p>
            <sectPr></sectPr>
        </p>
    </myTag> 
</body>
