You can use expanded memory for storing data (in your case 2-D matrices)
as long as the size of each matrix is not more than 64K. Its been
quite a while since I have used them. The basic steps are
1. allocate virtual memory ( _vmalloc)
2. lock it before u use it. 
3. unlock it after u use it.
4. _vfree it when you are through with it.

I don't know how familiar you are with Microsoft Advisor. This on-line
help facility has some basic examples which you can experiment with.
Try "qh _vmalloc" from command line.

Hope this helps.
