Various people have provided technical solutions to your problem.
May I suggest, though, that 'splice' isn't quite the right word for this
operation? Splicing two pieces of rope / movie film / audio tape / wires /
etc. means connecting them at their ends, either at an extremity or in the
middle, e.g.
X: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Y: yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Extremity splice: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxyyyyyyyyyyyy or
yyyyyyyyyyyyyyxxxxxxxxxx
Middle splice: xxxxxxxyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyxxxxxxxxx or
yyyyyyyxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxyyyyyyyy
The splice itself is the point of connection (xy or yx) between two things.
In normal English, splicing never refers to interspersing alternate members
of X and Y.
This may seem like a minor point, but I think it is worthwhile using
descriptive names for functions.
