It will; I'm assuming something like this: Ordinary one-dimensional
array:

    key {
        length => 1
        keys => { 
            PMC* some_scalar
        }
    }

Two-dimensional array:

    key {
        length => 2
        keys => { 
            PMC* some_scalar,
            PMC* some_other_scalar,
        }
    }

And so on.
