It isn't entirely clear to me what you want, but here are all the possibilities
I could think of. I hope one of them does what you want.
> testmat <- matrix(1:8, ncol=2)
> testmat
[,1] [,2]
[1,] 1 5
[2,] 2 6
[3,] 3 7
[4,] 4 8
> paste(testmat, collapse=" ")
[1] "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8"
> paste(t(testmat), collapse=" ")
[1] "1 5 2 6 3 7 4 8"
> apply(testmat, 1, paste, collapse=" ")
[1] "1 5" "2 6" "3 7" "4 8"
> apply(testmat, 2, paste, collapse=" ")
[1] "1 2 3 4" "5 6 7 8"
