As I said a year ago, partimat is the worker for drawparti and hence 
does not have the most convenient interface, hence you want soemthig like:


What you want is something like:

par(mfrow = c(4,2))
for(i in 3:10)
   drawparti(mydata[,1], mydata[,2], mydata[,i], method = "rda", 
gamma=0, lamda=1)

Best,
Uwe Ligges
