I think I've found a way...

struct MyData {
   SysTime stamp;
   short[] data;

   this(size_t size) {
     data = new short[size];
   }
}

MyDataArray[] mda; <--- sorry, missing the []s in the original 
question...

so in the constructor...

this(size_t x, size_t y) {
   mda = new MyDataArray[](x);
         foreach(n, _; mda) mda[n].data.length = y;
}

Is there a simpler way?
