Example :

In[1]:=n1=2; n2=3;

In[2]:=aa=Array[a,{n1,n1}]; bb=Array[b,{n1,n2}];

In[3]:=cc=Array[c,{n2,n1}]; dd=Array[d,{n2,n2}];

In[4]:=x=Array[0&,{n1+n2,n1+n2}];

In[5]:=x[[Range[1,n1],Range[1,n1]]] = aa;
       x[[Range[1,n1],Range[n1+1,n1+n2]]] = bb;
       x[[Range[n1+1,n1+n2],Range[1,n1]]] = cc;
       x[[Range[n1+1,n1+n2],Range[n1+1,n1+n2]]] = dd;

In[9]:=x

Out[9]={
{a[1,1],a[1,2],b[1,1],b[1,2],b[1,3]},
{a[2,1],a[2,2],b[2,1],b[2,2],b[2,3]},
{c[1,1],c[1,2],d[1,1],d[1,2],d[1,3]},
{c[2,1],c[2,2],d[2,1],d[2,2],d[2,3]},
{c[3,1],c[3,2],d[3,1],d[3,2],d[3,3]}}
