that changes rows,

this saves building one temporary eye

>>> n,s = 4,2
>>> A = np.array([[2,2,2,2],[3,3,3,3],[4,4,4,4],[5,5,5,5]])
>>> B = np.eye(n)
>>> B[:,-(n-s):] = A[:,-(n-s):]
>>> B
array([[ 1.,  0.,  2.,  2.],
       [ 0.,  1.,  3.,  3.],
       [ 0.,  0.,  4.,  4.],
       [ 0.,  0.,  5.,  5.]])
