When you say "multiple statements", do you mean

INSERT INTO foo (coords) VALUES
(cube(ARRAY[1, 'nan', 3]::float[])),
(cube(ARRAY[2, 'nan', 4]::float[])),
(cube(ARRAY[3, 'nan', 5]::float[])),
(cube(ARRAY[4, 'nan', 6]::float[]));

I was going to suggest trying that method, but if you already have
then please ignore me!
