Abstract: Let $m,n,s,k$ be integers such that $4leqsleqn$, $4leqkleqm$ and $ms=nk$. Let $lambda$ be a divisor of $2ms$ and let $t$ be a divisor of $frac2mslambda$. In this paper we construct magic rectangles $MR(m,n;s,k)$, signed magic arrays $SMA(m,n;s,k)$ and integer $lambda$-fold relative Heffter arrays ${}^{l}ambda{H}_t(m,n;s,k)$ where $s,k$ are even integers. In particular, we prove that there exists an $SMA(m,n;s,k)$ for all $m,n,s,k$ satisfying the previous hypotheses. Furthermore, we prove that there exist an $MR(m,n;s,k)$ and an integer ${}^{l}ambda{H}_t(m,n;s,k)$ in each of the following cases: $(i)$ $s,kequiv0pmod4$; $(ii)$ $sequiv2pmod4$ and $kequiv0pmod4$; $(iii)$ $sequiv0pmod4$ and $kequiv2pmod4$; $(iv)$ $s,kequiv2pmod4$ and $m,n$ both even.
