Ah, ok.

There is no trivial way to do it. Unlike C++, struct default ctors 
cannot be overridden.

I see your question has been answered, but I would just tweak it a bit:

foreach(ref m; mda) m.data = new short[y];

Only reason for that is, setting length will call some specialized 
function which eventually ends up doing exactly the same thing. The 
above is clearer and more correct IMO.
