As the index i runs from 1 to the length of list1 generate
a table with list2[[i]] copies of list1[[i]] prepended with
i-1 0's, and right padded (with 0's) to the length of list1:
In[1]:=
list1 = {a, b, c, d, e};
list2 = {3, 2, 5, 1, 6};
(PadRight[Join[Table[0, {#1 - 1}], Table[list1[[#1]],
{list2[[#1]]}]], Length[list1]] & ) /@
Range[Length[list1]]
Out[3]=
{{a, a, a, 0, 0}, {0, b, b, 0, 0}, {0, 0, c, c, c},
{0, 0, 0, d, 0}, {0, 0, 0, 0, e}}
and add along columns
In[4]:=
Table[1, {Length[list1]}] .
(PadRight[Join[Table[0, {#1 - 1}], Table[list1[[#1]],
{list2[[#1]]}]], Length[list1]] & ) /@
Range[Length[list1]]
Out[4]=
{a, a + b, a + b + c, c + d, c + e}
Hope it helps
