Question

Panorama, stitching

I can see that it is possible to stitch several images into a (horizontal) panorama.  However is it also possible to then continue and stitch 2 or 3 such panoramas together in the vertical direction creating a large image out of a x/y matric of single images. I would appreciate some feedback, I’m considering subscribing to photoshop CC and lightroom CC to do this merge.

Yes, but if the shots are taken with some care, you'll likely get better results doing it all in one go. I recently did one from 6 x 6 frames, thus keeping the original aspect ratio of the camera.

Always enable the lens profile in ACR/Lightroom. This corrects geometric distortion in individual frames. This is very important.

Make sure you have sound and solid overlap, that excludes moving clouds or water. Ideally you should have a focusing rail to eliminate parallax error (by pulling the camera body back so it rotates around the optical center of the lens).

It very often pays to pick a base image that the others align to. Put this at the bottom of the stack. Don't use Photomerge - use Auto-Align, nudge if needed, then Auto-Blend.
