Creating an Array for Different Radial Positions

I am basically looking to take a point in spherical polar coordinates such that theta = 0, phi = pi/2 and r = 1, then extend outwards at the same angles but increasing the radius by 0.2 each time until a radius of 10 is reached.
Corresponding to each of these points on a radial line, I then need a 3 x 46 array such that each 3 x 1 vector in the array corresponds to the position of each of the consecutive radial points in Cartesian coordinates, what would be the easiest way of doing this? Please let me know if this is not clear.

theta = 0;
phi = pi/2;
r = 1 : 0.2 : 10;
theta = repmat(theta,size(r));
phi = repmat(phi, size(r));
[x,y,z] = sph2cart(theta,phi,r);
xyz = [x; y; z];

Is there any way of doing it and avoiding a 4D array, I know it might be more efficient, but I basically want the 300 x 138 array, which I can then multiply with a 300 x 1 vector which I have prepared to get my solution to the problem.

% Initialize distance output array
distanceOutput = nan(300,138);
for ii = 1:46
for jj = 1:100
distanceOutput(3*jj-2:3*jj,3*ii-2:3*ii) = xyz(:,ii) - otherMatrix(:,jj)'; % Put your real formula here
end
end
To be clear, what this code is going to do is the following:
For the i'th (of 46) vector in xyz, and the j'th (of 100) vector in otherMatrix, there is an operation that leads to a 3x3 matrix. That 3x3 matrix is going to be placed into the array distanceOutput (like a tile in a rectangular floor), positioned i steps down and j steps to the right.
I hope that makes sense, and is what you want.
