One (often mentioned) issue is that storage really is column-wise so you
could consider stacking by column, and the transpose at the end.

I believe that works or at least used to worked / is supposed to work.

That said, I also frequently take Armadillo for tasks such as this, it has
all the operations, and if I ever wanted the C++ routine in C++ standalone
I'd simply switch to Armadillo (rather than RcppArmadillo) headers.  Similar
strategies should work for RcppEigen if you prefer Eigen.
