EPICS does not really support this.
Ofcourse you can have as many arrays in a record as you like - but the 
problem is how to get the data transferred through CA 'in synch'?

The way we do it is to fill the arrays in the record one after the other 
and set the monitor bit after filling. This way an outstanding monitor for 
the (in our case) two arrays from a CA-client will receive both arrays from 
the same filling. This will not work if you use CAget's ...
