The array is only a 4X4 array, but the elements are long algebraic expressions which are not fitting onto a page even if I use tiny fontsize and landscape orientation. I have experimented with align and split and haven't had much success. I get errors like:

wouldn't it be better to write

\begin{bmatrix} A & B \\ C & D \end{bmatrix}
where ...


and then define A, B, C and D

Would be easier for the reader to understand
