This one will do what you says you want in text:  "into sublist of 
elements that are less or equal 3"

In[3]:=
Split[z, #1 <= 3 &&
     #2 <= 3 & ]
Out[3]=
{{1, 3, 2}, {6}, {4}, {7},
   {5}, {1}, {7}}

This one will do what you says you want by example:  "{{1,3,2},
{6,4,7,5},{1},{7}}"

In[4]:=
Split[z,
   (#1 <= 3 && #2 <= 3) ||
     (#1 > 3 && #2 > 3) & ]
Out[4]=
{{1, 3, 2}, {6, 4, 7, 5},
   {1}, {7}}

Now, you have to make up your mind :)
