[netcdfgroup] Question about representation of data

Dear all

I am wondering if it is possible to use "non rectangular" data, i.e. I have a 
dimension (representing an index of objects)
which have a length depending of a record dimension.
Is it possible to link 2 dimension together with the new netcdf-4 format?
If it is not possible, can you give me some advices to represent this type of 
data?

I think I can use 2 unlimited dimensions and leave blank the part that I don't 
use ?

Thanks for your attention
