Accessing User Data within a Repeater Field

I’ve created a custom author box using the user data

($display_name = get_the_author_meta( 'display_name', $post->post_author );)

etc, etc.

That’s working quite well.

I now need a repeater field to contain selected users (so sometimes more than just one).

repeater field name: my_repeater_field_name
Sub-field name (type: user): my_subfield_user_field_name (returns ID)

Not sure how to load data from the users selected in the repeater field

I’ve been working with (in functions.php)

if( have_rows('my_repeater_field_name') )
 while( have_rows('my_repeater_field_name')): the_row();
 	$co_display_name = get_the_author_meta( 'display_name', $post->post_author );
	$co_user_descriptioin = get_the_author_meta( 'user_description', $post->post_author );
	 $co_user_website = get_the_author_meta('url', $post->post_author);
  	$co_user_posts = get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' , $post->post_author));

(I’ll put all that stuff together later on)

But I realize that this doesn’t mention the sub-field name, so not sure how to crack this one
