Remove Padding of Concatenating Inputs in build array function?

[smackheadj]

When using the build array function block and de-selecting the Concatenate Inputs is it possible to easily remove the padding that gets added to a 2D array to make the lengths equal? For example if a 1D array of {1,2,3,4,5} is entered it would be outputted as a 2D array of [{1,2,0} {3,4,5}] is it possible to have the ouput as [{1,2} {3,4,5}] with different lengths?

An array of strings will allow different length strings.

Generally when I am faced with a 2-d structure and the "recatangular" req of the 2-d array hurts, I'll try to restructure the data as an array of clusters and within the clusters, I can can place 1-d arrays.

I have absolutely no idea if that helps,

Hi smackheadj,
different lengths in an array are not possible, but you can use for example an array of cluster of array.

No.  they will be the same length, thus padding.
