You can prescribe the layout of the Mat that is passed to MatLoad().
However, if you are asking that the original
layout be stored in the file, we do not do that. It could be made to work
by writing the layout to the .info file and
then having the option call MatSetSizes() on load. Should not be much code.

  Thanks,
