it is relative simple behave -- empty values are NULL
array(1,2),array(3,4) -- do you think ARRAY[[1,2],[3,4]] is effectively
ARRAY[1,2,3,4]

postgres=# select array(select
unnest('{{{1,2},{3,4}},{{5,6},{7,8}}}'::int[]));
array
-------------------
{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}
(1 row)
so it generate pairs {1,2}{3,4},{5,6},{7,8}
