You should look at this result more closely. Its length is not the same length as the number of rows of the target of the attempted assignment.

You might try:

red_congruent$miniblock <- ave( red_congruent$subject_nr, red_congruent$subject_nr, FUN=seq_along)

`ave` is very useful for delivering vectors with length equal to nrow of a dataframe. Do remember to name the FUN parameter (although I still usually forget).
