To cbind, you don't need a loop

(M <- matrix(1:50,nc=10))
c2way <- combn(ncol(M),2)
MM <- M[,c2way]
dim(MM) <- c(nrow(M),nrow(c2way),ncol(c2way))
MM

c3way <- combn(ncol(M),3)
MMM <- M[,c3way]
dim(MMM) <- c(nrow(M),nrow(c3way),ncol(c3way))
MMM

etc. etc.

Than you can (untested for icc) loop your function as in
apply(MMM,3,somefun)

cheers
