If I recall correctly, the array can be stored in a variable but it is stored as the string. The extension does not provide many functions besides storing and retrieving value. That being said, you can always flatten a multi-dimensional array. Yes, it is doable, but not without a lot of complications. Believe me, I once tried to do that, fortunately my trials happened around the time Lua was being introduced, and this was quickly changed before the markup got even more complex.

The OP seems to need these for a pseudo-database, and such a thing can never work properly using wikitext as that is not what it was designed to do.
