Reed--Solomon codes are a well--studied code class which fulfill the Singleton bound with equality. However, their length is limited to the size q of the underlying field \mathbbFq. In this paper we present a code construction which yields codes with lengths of factors of the field size. Furthermore a decoding algorithm beyond half the minimum distance is given and analyzed.
