Found the solution here it is for anyone else who needs it or will need it 
in future:
initialize()
cAttr = OpenMaya.MFnCompoundAttribute()
cAttr.create("compoundArray", "cArray")
cAttr.setArray(True)
cAttr.setUsesArrayDataBuilder(True) // gives the main functionality for the 
array of compound array

compute()
inputArray = dataBlock.inputArrayValue(cArray) 
outBuild = inputArray.builder()
for i in range(0, n):
     outBuild.addElement(i)

inputArray.set(outBuild)
