Make a vector of queries

     queries = c(1, 7, 25, 50)

Create a factor of unlist(d), using queries as levels. Create a vector 
rep(seq_along(d), lengths(d)), and split it into groups defined by f

     f = factor(unlist(d, use.names=FALSE), levels=queries)
     split(rep(seq_along(d), lengths(d)), f)
