On PM we have only size and order for matrices, not dimension.
so:
If $ A_1,\ldots, A_n$ are square matrices (of possibly different <<sizes>),

and:
If $ A$ and $ B$ are matrices of the same <<size>> partitioned into blocks <<of the same size>>

If $ A$ and $ B$ are $ m\times n$ and $ n\times k$ matrices, respectively, then if the blocks of $ A$ and $ B$ are <<conformal>>

(you can introduce the term conformal matrices and illustrate how it works
to multiply when conformal). The current language will not be precise enough in my opinion.

I haven't heard of the term 'conformal matrices.' Maybe you could write an entry, after which I can reword the ending?
