Does the definition of a Kanban board permit stacked lists? In other words, can an individual column contain multiple lists (rows). If not, is there another design similar to a Kanban board that does permit this?

if you check out the Jira Kanban board, you'll see a stacked list where the tasks stacked on the board are consolidated based on the epics enter image description here

These are typically called Kanban Swimlanes.

Swimlanes are used to categorize tasks so users can more easily find the task they are looking for:

  • by customer or project
  • by team
  • by priority (sometimes called "classes of service"). Example: the "expedite" swimlane in the screenshot by Siddarth Maran.
