    I strongly suspect that your example will prove to be non-representative of your real data. We'll see.

    In B5, copied down:
    =LEFT(A5,SEARCH("-",A5)-2)

    In C5, copied across and down:
    =IFERROR(FILTERXML("<A><B>"&SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(LEFT($A5,SEARCH("[",$A5)-2)," - "," "),"-","",1)," ","</B><B>")&"</B></A>","//B["&COLUMNS($A:D)&"]"),"")
