B={{1,1,1},{0,1,2},{2,1,0},{0,2,2}}



I understand that each vector from then span of column vectors of B is a solution for Ax=o and that matrix A should have four columns. However I don't know how many rows it should have and how to find it.

          Suppose $A$ has $r$ rows. As $mathbb Z_3$ is a field, by rank-nullity theorem,
          $$
          4 =text{dimension of domain of $A$}=operatorname{rank}(A)+operatorname{nullity}(A)=operatorname{rank}(A)+operatorname{rank}(B).
          $$

          Hence $r:=operatorname{rank}(A)=4-operatorname{rank}(B)$ and $A$ must have at least $r$ rows.
