The extra separator came over from Ethereal - maybe modeled after a sniffer display from that era.
It's not common in other hex dumps like xxd or tcpdump.
It's defined in data_printer.h:
// Insert a space after this many bytes
static int separatorInterval() { return 8; }
Used in byte_view_text.cpp (Packets Bytes):
const int ByteViewText::separator_interval_ = DataPrinter::separatorInterval();
But not in data_printer.cpp (Copy Bytes...).
Seems like since it's a Wireshark format, maybe the formatting should be consistent.
Enhancement requests are opened as issues on gitlab/wireshark

EDIT: seems hexdump canonical adds the extra divider/separator.
-C, --canonical
Canonical hex+ASCII display. Display the input offset in
hexadecimal, followed by sixteen space-separated, two-column,
hexadecimal bytes, followed by the same sixteen bytes in %_p
format enclosed in '|' characters. Invoking the program as hd
implies this option.
