Although the original submission did not specify how the elements of the
given nine 3-by-3 matrices were to be arranged in the resulting big
matrix, I suspect the desire was to insert them directly as "blocks".
The Hanlon code below does not do that, but rather stretches out into a
single row of 9 elements the 3*3 = 9 elements of each of the given
3-by-3's.
