MATLAB: Placement of elements from a matrix into another matrix

frequencypalcement

Hi,
I have A matrix like below. 
tot_row=5;
tot_col=10;
left_col_begin = tot_col/2;
right_col_begin = left_col_begin + 1;
new_col=3;
left_col_end =  (left_col_begin - new_col)+1;
right_col_end = (right_col_begin + new_col)-1;
new_row=3;
A=nan(tot_row,tot_col);
And I have B matrix like below:
B=[10 5
6     4
3     2
8     0
1     3
7     5];
Now I want to get C matrix from A and B such that 
B(i,1) for all i= 1:size(B,1)
will be placed on A matrix based on their frequency given in B(i,2)
But for each row rr in A matrix where rr in 1:new_row —
That means for above A matrix, the placement of B(i,1) will be B(i,2) number of times in the following place sequence
A(1,6) -> A(1,5) -> A(1,7) -> A(1,4) -> A(1,8) -> A(1,3)
A(2,6) -> A(2,5) -> A(2,7) -> A(2,4) -> A(2,8) -> A(2,3)
A(3,6) -> A(3,5) -> A(3,7) -> A(3,4) -> A(3,8) -> A(3,3)
My output matrix C is given below. I want this C matrix from A and B based on above placement criteria. 
C=
[NaN      NaN       6         10        10        10        10        10        NaN       NaN
NaN       NaN       1          3         6         6        6         3         NaN       NaN
NaN       NaN       7          7         1         1        7         7         NaN       NaN
NaN       NaN       NaN       NaN       NaN       NaN       NaN       NaN       NaN       NaN
NaN       NaN       NaN       NaN       NaN       NaN       NaN       NaN       NaN       NaN];
7 should have 5 times in C matrix as it's frequency is 5 in B matrix, but it is here available for 4 times. Because I don’t have any other spaces (in that 3*6 block) to put 7. So this is fine. My goal is to place as much as I can. If there are any extra space available in that block after all the placements from B matrix, then it will be keep as NaN as like rest of the elements.
Can someone please help me on this? I hope I made my question clear. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks
