This command does not have a correct syntax and cannot be evaluated
without errors, so I'm not sure what your data looks like exactly.
But it seems that we are working with 2-level lists, so we just need
to pad it.

If we have a ragged array, such as
data = Table[i + j, {i, 1, 5}, {j, 1, 2 i}]
, we can pad it with zeros using PadRight:
PadRight[data, {Length[data], Max[Length /@ data]}]
This will give return a matrix that can be exported to .mat format.
