creating a two dimensional CGRECT

 create a instance variable

 CGRect  **ippArray;

//note that status is a two dimension 

then in you view did load method

- (void)viewDidLoad

{

    [super viewDidLoad];

    ippArray = malloc( 12 * sizeof( CGRect * ) ); //array pointer to the next dimension

    for(int  i = 0; i < 12; i++ )

    {

        ippArray[ i ] = calloc( 8, sizeof( CGRect ) );

    }

}

The formatting will look like this(roughly) for a 3*2 dimension

Although based on the type of data structure you want you can create any type of memory structure

you want and based on which you can access the elements.
