Yes. For example, the function expects 2 arguments, and it's called
with 2 arguments: 1 composite type (following this format
https://svn.osgeo.org/postgis/spike/wktraster/doc/RFC1-SerializedFormat)
and one integer. But PG_NARGS() returns a really big value (16297)
when I first check the number of arguments at the beginning of the
function. Has sense?

The array, if I'm doing things right, is created in the context
pointed by fcinfo->flinfo->fn_mcxt. But I'd like to solve "silly"
things like the previous before, and to be sure I'm doing things
right, in general. Now, I know at least sounds reasonable :-)

Many thanks!
