[R] create new matrices with specific patterns

[Kathryn Lord]

Sorry for inconvenience. For clarification,

The matrix B looks like

> B
      P Q
 [1,] 1 1
 [2,] 1 2
 [3,] 1 3
 [4,] 1 4
 [5,] 2 1
 [6,] 2 2
 [7,] 2 3
 [8,] 2 4
[9,] 3 1
[10,] 3 2
[11,] 3 3
[12,] 3 4
[13,] 4 1
[14,] 4 2

The matrix E is

> E
      P Q
[1,] 4 1
[2,] 4 2
[3,] 4 3
[4,] 4 4
