If B is 4 x 2 and C is 3 x 3 then A should look like this:
b11*c 0 0 b12*c 0 0
0 b11*c 0 0 b12*c 0
0 0 b11*c 0 0 b12*c
b21*c 0 0 b22*c 0 0
0 b21*c 0 0 b22*c 0
0 0 b21*c 0 0 b22*c
b31*c 0 0 b32*c 0 0
0 b31*c 0 0 b32*c 0
0 0 b31*c 0 0 b32*c
b41*c 0 0 b42*c 0 0
0 b41*c 0 0 b42*c 0
0 0 b41*c 0 0 b42*c
Just divide by c. You should get 3 copies of each element of B.
