I think you should reconsider your code a bit.
The first iteration, you write to the first column of r_inertial, so r_intertial is 3 x 1. M_ECItoORF is 3 x 3. In the calculation of r_ORF you use the * operator between the 3 x 3 M_ECItoORF and the 3 x 1 R_ECI to get a 3 x 1 result the first iteration.
The second iteration, you write to the second column of r_interial, so r_inertial is 3 x 2. And for kORF_ECI and jORF_ECI you use that entire 3 x 2 r_intertial . Are you certain that you want to be using the cumulative r_intertial in the calculation, not just the "current" column of r_intertial ?
Then you get down to the r_ORF, M_ECI is still 3 x 3, r_ECI is now 3 x 2 because it is is the 3 x 2 r_inertial, so r_ORF becomes 3 x 2, not 3 x 1.
And so on, until you get to the end, and the last r_ORF is 3 x number_of_times .
Does this make sense to do ???
