Why not use a vector of vectors?

Something like this:

http://programmingexamples.net/index.php?title=CPP/2DVector

but rather than initialize it like this:

std::vector<std::vector<int> > items ( 5, std::vector<int> ( 5 ) );

simply do:

std::vector<std::vector<int> > items;
 std::vector<int> row1;
//construct row1 however you want and as long as it needs to be
items.push_back(row1);

 std::vector<int> row2;
//construct row2 however you want and as long as it needs to be
items.push_back(row2);

Let us know if that does what you're looking for.
