After adding a missing " in the second title,
this gets the positions of the point counts:

p = Flatten@Position[Partition[data,2,1],
    {{_Integer},{_?NumberQ,_?NumberQ}}]

{6,16,27}

This gets the sets of points:

Take[data,#+{1,data[[#,1]]}] & /@ p

{{{0,300.006}, {5,300.006}, {10,300.006}, {15,300.006}, {20,300.006}},
{{0,1.00007}, {5,1.00007}, {10,1.00007}, {15,1.00007}, {20,1.00007},
{25,1.00007}}, {{0,0.000326099}, {5,0.000326099}, {10,0.000326099},
{15,0.000326099}, {20,0.000326099}, {25,0.000326099},
{30,0.000326099}}}
