Description

`[[10, 10, 5], [10, 10]]` currently roundtrips to `[[10, 10, 5], [10, 10, 0]]`. Ideally we should support things like that.

Research direction

Reproduce the roundtrip with `[[10, 10, 5], [10, 10]]` and inspect the encoding and decoding entry points for coordinate arrays. Determine how missing coordinates are represented, then verify that the second coordinate remains missing rather than becoming zero.
