[R] difficulty setting the random = argument to lme()

My small brain is having trouble getting to grips with lme() I wonder if anyone can help me correctly set the random = argument to lme() for this kind of setup with (I think) 9 variance/covariance components ... Study.1 Study.2 ... Study.10

Hi Robert: It appears to me that you have a split-plot structure, so let me see if I have it right. The 'whole-plot' experiment looks like a replicated randomized block design - the studies are the blocks, the treatments A and B are the whole-plot treatments, each of which is assigned randomly
