Best way of storing data in 100 objects for later retrieval?

When doing sequencing, I normally apply TraMineR's seqdef function on a dataset to generate a single sequence object:

sequence_object <- seqdef(data)

However, let's say I want to loop through a dataframe and generate 1 sequence object per every chunk of 10 columns. Then I would do something like this:

colpicks <- seq(10,1000,by=10)
mapply(function(start,stop) seqdef(df[,start:stop]), colpicks-9, colpicks)

Now, I want to store these objects in some suitable manner. Two questions:

  1. What is the most suitable way of storing (or maybe just automatically naming) 100 objects, so that I can easily loop through each of them at a later point?
  2. How can I modify my code above so that it stores the data per your answer to (1)?

"Most suitable" is completely subjective and dependent on your goal.
I'm assuming this question is related to your previous question, and thus I would suggest setting the simplify argument of mapply to FALSE

myMatrixList <- mapply(.... , simplify=FALSE)

However, even that is not necessary, as you can just combine the sapply from the previous question and skip the middle step
