Sorry, but you cannot do that (on trivial way at least). One nested table is fixed in size, and it is allowed only one of these per each row in parent table. If you need a variable number of rows per entry in the parent table I'd recommend using a 'mixed' approach. For example, use an `Int64Column` column that references to a VLArray entry that, on his hand, will contain a variable number of references (`Int64Atom` entries) to another Table object where you can put your 'nested' table entries. Perhaps there are other ways to simulate what you are trying to do. Just think about other possibilities and choose the most appropriate for your needs.
