(+1) if you have amsmath package loaded, why than not use \begin{bmatrix} ...\end{bmatrix} from it and erase \left[ and right]? – Zarko Jul 05 '16 at 09:35
@Zarko: just because I'm too lazy to remember english names for () [] || ;-) – Ignasi Jul 05 '16 at 10:16

I tried to reproduce as faithfully the image in the post:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{mathtools}
\usepackage{mathptmx} 
\usepackage{makebox, bigstrut}
\newcommand\mydot{\makebox*{$ L_{\varepsilon} $}{.}}
\usepackage{array}

\begin{document}

\[%
\setlength\arraycolsep{-1.2pt}
\setlength\extrarowheight{-0.2ex}
\setlength\bigstrutjot{3pt}
\begin{bmatrix}
L_{\varepsilon_1} & & & & & & 0\bigstrut[t]\\
 & L_{\varepsilon_2} \\  &  & \mydot \\  &  &  & \mydot \\& &  &  & \mydot \\
 & &  &  &  &  L_{\varepsilon_p}\\
  &  &  &  &  &  & A_p {+} \lambda B_p \bigstrut
\end{bmatrix}
\]%

\end{document}
