You might try rbind.fill in the reshape package.

Hello. I am looking for a function that will allow me to paste rows
together without regard for the numbers of columns in the datasets to
be joined. The only columns where it matters if they are aligned
correctly are at the beginning - the rest of the columns represent
differing numbers of ICD9
Where is the data coming from since it has a variable number of
columns in each row? Is it coming from a text file? If so, you can
use the fill=TRUE option when reading to fill out empty columns.
You need to provide at least a subset of the data so we can see what
you are working with.
