I'm not altogether sure I understood your problem, but it seems to me that
if

In[1]:=
lay={{{ob11},{ob12},{ob13},{ob14}},{{ob21},{ob22},{ob23},{ob24}}};

then

In[2]:=
Flatten[lay,1]
Out[2]=
{{ob11},{ob12},{ob13},{ob14},{ob21},{ob22},{ob23},{ob24}}

gets rid of the intermediate layer. Alternatively, List/@Flatten[lay].
