  virtual void set(const real* block,
                   const uint* num_rows,
                   const uint* const * rows) = 0;

block is an array with values to be set

num_rows is an array of length rank()

num_rows[i] is the number of "rows" to be set for axis i

rows[i] is an array with the "rows" to be set for axis i

the length of the array block is num_rows[0]*num_rows[1]*...

For a matrix (rank = 2), the values will be set according to

  for (int i = 0; i < num_rows[0]; ++i)
    for (int j = 0; j < num_rows[1]; ++j)
      A[rows[i], rows[j]] = block[i*num_rows[1] + j];

For a rank 3 tensor, you have three loops etc.
