3.29844, 2.0636, 2.0672, 2.06916, 2.06951;


You can use PadLeft and PadRight:



list1 = PadLeft[list, Automatic, Null];

TeXForm @ MatrixForm[list1]



$tiny left(
beginarrayccc
1.94238 & 1.94361 & 4.72888 \
1.94477 & 1.94938 & 4.71431 \

textNull & textNull & 2.0672 \
textNull & textNull & 2.06916 \
textNull & textNull & 2.06951 \
endarray
right)$




Tow switch from left padding to right padding after row t:



t = 10;
list2 = list;
list2[[;; t]] = PadLeft[list2[[;; t]], Automatic, Null];
list2[[t + 1 ;;]] = PadRight[list2[[t + 1 ;;]], Automatic, Null];

TeXForm @ MatrixForm[list2]



$tiny left(

2.0672 & textNull & textNull \
2.06916 & textNull & textNull \
2.06951 & textNull & textNull \
endarray
right)$




To pad left at rows in the list leftpaddedrows and right at rows in the list rightpaddedrows:



SeedRandom[1]
leftpaddedrows = RandomSample[Range@Length@list, 10];
rightpaddedrows = Complement[Range[Length@list], leftpaddedrows];

list3 = list;
list3[[leftpaddedrows]] = PadLeft[list3[[leftpaddedrows]], Automatic, Null];
list3[[rightpaddedrows]] = PadRight[list3[[rightpaddedrows]], Automatic, Null];

TeXForm @ MatrixForm[list3]



$tiny left(

    Another approach if you want to left pad the first n one-element lists and right pad the rest is:



    lst = 1.94238, 1.94361, 4.72888, 1.94477, 1.94938, 
    4.71431, 1.94893, 1.95817, 4.69017, 1.9551, 1.96907,
    4.65627, 1.9637, 1.98115, 4.61168, 1.97539, 1.99357,
    4.55427, 1.99141, 2.00535,
    4.48002, 4.38177, 4.24668, 2.04454, 2.07149,
    4.05151, 2.05173, 2.13016, 3.75524, 2.05838, 2.23059,
    3.29844, 2.0636, 2.0672, 2.06916, 2.06951


    Followed by calls to SequenceReplace:



    nlst = SequenceReplace[lst, x_ :> Null, Null, x, 2];
    alst = SequenceReplace[nlst, x_ :> x, Null, Null] // TableForm

              Another approach if you want to left pad the first n one-element lists and right pad the rest is:



              lst = 1.94238, 1.94361, 4.72888, 1.94477, 1.94938, 
              4.71431, 1.94893, 1.95817, 4.69017, 1.9551, 1.96907,
              4.65627, 1.9637, 1.98115, 4.61168, 1.97539, 1.99357,
              4.55427, 1.99141, 2.00535,
              4.48002, 4.38177, 4.24668, 2.04454, 2.07149,
              4.05151, 2.05173, 2.13016, 3.75524, 2.05838, 2.23059,
              3.29844, 2.0636, 2.0672, 2.06916, 2.06951


              Followed by calls to SequenceReplace:



              nlst = SequenceReplace[lst, x_ :> Null, Null, x, 2];
              alst = SequenceReplace[nlst, x_ :> x, Null, Null] // TableForm
