Provided you are on a modern Excel version you can try this:
=TRANSPOSE(BYROW(WRAPROWS(D3:S3,2),SUM))WRAPROWS creates an array of values from column pairs (D and E, F and G and so on).
BYROW then sums these pairs on by one into a 1-column array.
TRRANSPOSE that result into a 1-row array.
Change the range D3:S3 to the actual range that contains your data.
