Summing over specific lines and replacing the lines with the sum

Hi friends,

This is sed & awk type question. It is slightly different from my previous question.

I have a text file which has numbers spread all over the file. I want to sum the series of numbers (but no more than 10 numbers in series) whenever i find it and produce an output file with the sum. For example

###start of input text file ####
Code:
abc
def
ghi
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
kjld
random
text
occupies
some
1000
3000
400
again
some
random
text
900
100
whatever
is here
900
11
what

#####end of input file #########

The output should be

##start of output file ####
Code:
abc
def
ghi
55
36
kjld
random
text
occupies
some
4400
again
some
random
text
1000
whatever
is here
911
what

########### end of output file #################

So the output file is the same as the input file, except the series of numbers (where series consists of ten or less consecutive numbers) is replace by its sum.

I hope it makes sense. If not, please let me know any questions.

Kind Regards,

abc
def
ghi
55
