If Roy was right, and that last ] is a type then I would do this:

L =  ['C100, C117', 'X7R 0.033uF 10% 25V  0603', '0603-C_L, 0603-C_N',
'10', '2', '', '30', '15463-333', 'MURATA', 'GRM188R71E333KA01D',
'Digi-Key', '490-1521-1-ND', '']

new_l = L[1:]  # this removes the 'C100,C117' item from the original list

first_item = L[:1]  # this is 'C100, C117'

>From here you can split first_item into two strings, and create your final
list with the pieces
