I think what you're missing is the distinction between slice and simple
element access, ie instead of this

(myvar[i]).multidimarray[j]

you'd need something like this

(myvar[i]).multidimarray[j][1:3]

The proposed loop coding is uselessly overcomplicated because it
supposes that 2-D arrays could be nonrectangular. Just use array_lower
and array_upper on dimension 2 of the 2-D array in the innermost loop.

You might want to practice a bit with a plain 2-D array field before
getting into the complexity of embedding it in a composite embedded
in an array ...
