So what do you want to do with the left-over 320 elements of your matrix?
>> [360*42, 15440-360*42]
ans =
15120 320

IF your matrix size were an integer multiple of the size of your "block" I
would suggest RESHAPE and calling the MEAN function with a dimension input
argument, but since it's not you need to decide first what to do with the
leftover chunk. Zero-pad to make your matrix size a multiple of 360,
ignoring the extra elements, or extracting the extra elements and taking
their MEAN (which would sum and divide by 320 instead of dividing by 360)
separately are three possible options.
