No, it can't. `byte[][]` is an array of arrays, and that fact is user-visible because you can access any of the individual arrays, pass it to other functions, etc.

But you can do this is C, which has flat arrays. To “access” an individual array just grab the base address+array sizeelement sizeindex.
