AFAIK you can't, but anyway how do you expect the user to enter the 
bazillion numbers? If you want that many  numbers just ask for a file 
name and read the file.

Or maybe your array can be pixels values in a layer (these are easy to 
get in Python) in which case the user would just specify a second layer.
