No. *Arrays should not have a limitation on the number of rows. The only
thing here is that plain Array objects must fit in memory because they are
meant for quick and dirty work with NumPy arrays. But you can always use
chunked PyTables arrays (CArray, EArray or VLArray) if you want support for
a practically unlimited number of rows.

Do it as you prefer. But *Array objects also have support for varying
number of rows (EArray, VLArray).

You are welcome!
