Split File Based on Line Number Pattern

Hello all.

Sorry, I know this question is similar to many others, but I just can seem to put together exactly what I need.

My file is tab delimitted and contains approximately 1 million rows. I would like to send lines 1,4,& 7 to a file. Lines 2, 5, & 8 to a second file. Lines 3, 6, & 9 to a third file, and then line 10 to a fourth file. I then want to repeat this condition using the same scenario, and the same four files above. Any thoughts on the best approach?
