a = {28, 30, 17};
b = {1, 2, 9, 4, 5, 7, 3, 8};
Transpose@{b, PadRight[a, Length@b, a]}
{{1, 28}, {2, 30}, {9, 17}, {4, 28}, {5, 30}, {7, 17}, {3, 28}, {8, 30}}
That requires knowing Length@b >= Lenght@a, but this does not:
a={28,30,17};
b={1,2,9,4,5,7,3,8};
Transpose@{PadRight[b,Max[Length/@{a,b}],b],PadRight[a,Max[Length/@{a,b}],a]}
{{1,28},{2,30},{9,17},{4,28},{5,30},{7,17},{3,28},{8,30}}
a={28,30,17,20,1,2,9,4,3,7,12};
b={1,2,9,4,5,7,3,8};
Transpose@{PadRight[b,Max[Length/@{a,b}],b],PadRight[a,Max[Length/@{a,b}],a]}
{{1,28},{2,30},{9,17},{4,20},{5,1},{7,2},{3,9},{8,4},{1,3},{2,7},{9,12}}
