I want to split a matrix, where both 'u' and 'w' are results of
possible ways. However, whenever 'n' changes, the argument passed to
mapply() has to change. Is there a way to pass elements of a list as
multiple arguments?

You need to explain what you want in more detail. In your example mapply did exactly what you told it to. No errors. Three matrices. What were you expecting when you gave it three lists in each argument?


m=10
n=2
k=3

set.seed(0)
x=replicate(n,rnorm(m))
f=sample(1:k, size=m, replace=T)

u=split(as.data.frame(x),f)

v=lapply(
   1:dim(x)[[2]]
   , function(i) {
     split(x[,i],f)
   }
   )

w=mapply(
   function(x,y) {
     cbind(x,y)
   }
   , v[[1]], v[[2]]
   )
