Deleting specific repeating sequence from a column vector

Hello,
I have raw data from a transmission. It contains a header with several values before transmitting the actual data. I would like to remove the header information from the data. The complication is that the packet size is unknown and can change between transmissions, so the code has to be automatically adaptable.
An example of a transmission:
Data = [
0 %Packet number
0
64 % Magic word
0
10000
84
26114
-26
12697 % Data start
14701
-10130
-11550
...
1 % Packet number
0
64 % Magic word
0
10000
540
27693
-165
12697 % Data start
14699
-10132
-11552
...
2 % Packet number
0
64 % Magic word
0
10000
625
-32028
-191
12697 % Data start
14699
-10132
];
and so on. Each packet begins with a header containing packet number, then 0, followed by 64 and several other values, before moving to information (last 4 values in the example)
I want to remove all the header sequence to get to the raw data, which I then can reshape into 4 columns containing each of the data values (i.e. Nx4 matrix)
I can easily identify the magic word (64) and remove it from the array:
idx = find(DataBIN == 64); % This results in idx of 468278x1
DataBIN(idx) = [];
But how can I do the same for a specific sequence? I can't figure out how to make this work in an elegant and fast way, especially since the only constants are several zeroes and 64, the rest of the values can change.
The slow way is:
Data = []
for i = 1:length(idx)-1
Data = [Data ; DataRAW(idx(i)+6:idx(i+1)-3)];
end
But this takes ages.
A faster way, I believe, would be to find all indexes of 64 as an anchor, then remove everything starting from idx-2 to idx+5. I guess I could somehow expand the idx array with a for loop, where for each index number, I expand it from idx-2 to idx+5, then the next idx and so on. So for each existing index I should add 7 more in-between, resulting in a 3277946x1 idx array (which I'm also not yet sure how to do). This would be similar to DataBIN(idxNEW) = [] operation and much quicker, but its back to the for loop, which will take a long time in the case of very long transmissions.
Might there be a more elegant solution?

You don't need a loop, just remove them all at once e.g.:
Data = [
0 %Packet number
0
64 % Magic word
0
10000
84
26114
-26
12697 % Data start
14701
-10130
-11550
...
1 % Packet number
0
64 % Magic word
0
10000
540
27693
-165
12697 % Data start
14699
-10132
-11552
...
2 % Packet number
0
64 % Magic word
0
10000
625
-32028
-191
12697 % Data start
14699
-10132
99999
];
idx = find(Data==64);
idy = find(Data==0)-1;
idz = intersect(idx,idy);
Data((-2:5)+idz) = [];
Data = reshape(Data,[],numel(idz)).'
