No, there isn't such a function. However, some matrices support "windows", 
these are submatrices which are created without copying the data out. Hence, 
doing the splitting up/combining step is quite cheap. See:

  matrix_window_modn_dense.pyx

but it will probably take some code-writing to get it to do what you want.
