python - Split column into unknown number of columns according to number of words- Pandas

I have a pandas data frame with one of its column containing some string. I want to split that column into an unknown number of columns according to word count.

Suppose, I have DataFrame df :

Index        Text
0          He codes
1          He codes well in python
2          Python is great language
3          Pandas package is very handy 

Now I want to divide the text column into multiple columns, each containing 2 words each.

Index         0                 1                 2
0          He codes          NaN               NaN
1          He codes          well in           python
2          Python is         great language    NaN
3          Pandas package    is very           handy 

How can I do this in python? Please help. Thanks in advance.

Given a dataframe df where in the Text column we have sentences that need to be split by two words:

import pandas as pd

def splitter(s):
    spl = s.split()
    return [" ".join(spl[i:i+2]) for i in range(0, len(spl), 2)]

df_new = pd.DataFrame(df["Text"].apply(splitter).to_list())

#           0        1       2
# 0  He codes     well    None
# 1  He codes  well in  Python
