Just a remark:

As the first three variables are nested, I would expect this table
to contain a lot of structural zeroes. I understand you just get
the data in table form and do not intend to work on them as a
contingency table.

data(HairEyeColor)
condensed <- as.data.frame(HairEyeColor)
If this is not sufficient, then
extended <- condensed[-ncol(condensed),
rep(1:nrow(condensed),
condensed[,ncol(condensed)])]
should do the trick.
