I don't think so.  Unless there was a new feature that I missed.  One way to
fake this though would be to create a one-dimensional with enough slots (300
in your case) like so:

deep="100"
dim array[300]

Now say you want element 3,50 of your "two" dimensional array:
X=3
Y=50

array(X*deep-deep+Y)

Good Luck.
