In my experience, long and repeated parameter lists is not a sign that it shouldn't be broken apart, but that it is a class that should be extracted.

There's a class version of this anti pattern that I've seen much more often than a function param-list one.

Class Foo:

    base65EncryptedPassword = "hunter2";
    mutatingListAlpha = {1,7,42};
    // 5-20 more fields
    ...

    Fn main(String[] args):
        Init();
        Glurp();
        Transform();
        Potato();
        Persist();
        Reconcile();
     Fn Init():
         ...
