[It would have been nice if you had included context - not everyone
uses the Nabble interface.]

Bill Dunlap's solution to your problem as originally stated was:

   cumsum(c(TRUE, diff(land)==1))

I think that your new requirement is satisfied with

   cumsum(c(TRUE, diff(land) == -1))

Unless, of course, I'm misinterpreting something.
