How to split list into segments based on first element of sublist, and remove ineligible segments

I have a list that looks like this:

{{1., 1812.}, {2., 10076.}, {3., 4762.}, {1., 4262.}, {2.,

It is ordered. I need to split this list into 1., 2., 3. segments based on the first element of each sublist, removing any segments that are smaller than that, e.g. 1., 2.. I want to end up with something like this: {{{1., 1812.}, {2., 10076.}}, {{3., 4762.}, {1., 4262.}, {2., 5059.}, {3., 5860.}}}

The idea seems simple... but the other implementations I have tried require the list to be ordered. I can't change this order. Plus I need to remove certain elements in addition to splitting. I've considered partitioning with varying partition size, although I'm not sure how to do it with a conditional, and then looping through the result to remove any sublists that are smaller than a length of 3.
