As per my understanding, it seems there are two tasks at hand. First, you want to split a larger array into m*n number of smaller arrays, each with dimensions m*n as well. Second, you aim to iterate over these sections in the larger array and populate them with the corresponding values from the smaller arrays.
Refer to the following code snippet which takes a different approach and eventually gets the requirements and takes in input from the user as well:
layout = zeros(rows, columns);
m = input('Number of rows in the section: ');
n = input('Number of cols in the section: ');
small_array = zeros(1, sections);
small_array(i) = input(['Enter value for element ' num2str(i) ': ']);
section_array = reshape(small_array, m, n);
C = repelem(section_array', m, n);
layout(1:size(C, 1), 1:size(C, 2)) = C;
For more information on MATLAB's "repelem" function, refer to the following MathWorks documentation link:
Hope this is beneficial!
