[R] merge numerous columns of unequal length

[Patrick Burns]

As the answers you've received suggest, you
can use a list.  Or you could have two
vectors: one with the data, the other with the
group identity.  The latter format is likely more
convenient for a lot of analyses.

Since your data are not inherently rectangular,
it is probably best to get the idea of spreadsheet
out of your head.  (It is probably best anyway.)
