At least the error message could mention the actual number of entries, as

lol, something like this?!

yes, something alike.
IMO it's a stupid idea to mix up syntax and semantics. Both the array
dimension expression (in the declaration part) and the number of
supplied entries (in the definition part) can be parsed and determined
independently, based only on syntax. Then a semantical check can be
appended, whether both amounts are different, and finally it's
sufficient to show in the error message:
... expected $1 values, found $2.
This procedure also would eliminate the need for any error recovery,
required otherwise to skip over unexpected additional entries in the
actual source code.
I didn't want to go into implementation details here, since it's an FPC
issue, not a Lazarus one.
