Doesn't simply making B a list where each element is a variable length list containing the results of each iteration work for you?

That is 

B={{1,2,3,4},{1,2},{1,2,3,4,5,6}}

allows such things as Length@B[[1,All]]. Do note the modifieer, All, isn't needed in this case, i.e., Length@B[[1]] gives the identical result
