Convert a fixed width char array into a column vector

Hello! I have troubles converting numbers from a char array to double format. The char array always has the dimensions 1x48. Every 8 characters represent an integer. Sometimes there are spaces between numbers and sscanf fails to give the results I need. For example:
aa = ' 1703434 42 1012275140184521401845314018473';
sscanf(aa,'%8d')
ans =
1703434
42
10122751
40184521
40184531
4018473
should return in fact
ans =
1703434
42
10122751
14018452
14018453
14018473
The reason why I don't use str2double for each 8 characters in 'aa' is that it gets very slow for many conversions. The original file I read also contains other words, and this array 'aa' is only a part of each line I read. So far sscanf was the fastest method and it worked well until this line was encountered.
Could anyone please explain me why sscanf behaves like this? Is there any quick alternative?

This will be quite efficient:
>> aa = ' 1703434 42 1012275140184521401845314018473';
>> vec = sscanf(sprintf('%c%c%c%c%c%c%c%c,',aa),'%f%*[ ,]')
vec =
1703434
42
1012275
14018452
14018453
14018473

Timing for 1e4 iterations:
Elapsed time is 2.80135 seconds. % reshape, repmat, sscanf
Elapsed time is 7.16556 seconds. % reshape, str2num
Elapsed time is 0.92013 seconds. % this answer
