Ideally I'd like to have code that handles both '\r\r\n' and '\n' as the
split character.

Are repeated newlines/carriage returns significant at all? What about
just using re and just replacing any repeated instances of '\r' or
I have files containing ASCII text with line s separated by '\r\r\n'.
Example:
$ od -c FTAK31_PANC_131140.1481629265635
000 F T A K 3 1 P A N C 1 3 1 1
020 4 0 \r \r \n T A F A B E \r \r \n T A
040 F \r \r \n P A
