We could write a one-liner, but in order to make it readable, I propose the
following:

In[1]:=
a = Partition[Rest[RealDigits[N[Pi, 301]][[1]]], 5];

In[2]:=
b = ((ToString[#1] & ) /@ #1 & ) /@ a;

In[3]:=
TableForm[Transpose[Partition[(StringJoin[#1] & ) /@ b,
    15]]]

Strings must be used in order to preserve the five-digit objects beginning
with a zero.
