coughed up the following:

...[self snippage]...

        [Remember that this technique is in addition to the other
        techniques explained, not in replacement of. In addition,
        this technique is particularly well suited to the need for
        box arrays with only a /few/ rows of odd lengths.]

It occurred to me that my example might not be enough for a newbie. I
specifically fill a box with 9 and then print the entirety of the array of
arrays, which has a leg of 15 elements, which are 0, to show the parts of
the original box array and the extra elements of row 2.

Perhaps it would have been clearer if I had filled the entire thing with
9's. This is an example where the fill loop is changed to:

        for (int y=0; y < a.length; y++)
            for (int x=0; x < a[y].length; x++)
                a[y][x] = 9;

Producing:

        9 9 9 9 9 9 9
        9 9 9 9 9 9 9
        9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9
        9 9 9 9 9 9 9
        9 9 9 9 9 9 9

...and this is all the code:

        int xSize = 7;
        int a[][] = new int[5][xSize];

        a[2] = new int[15];

        for (int y=0; y < a.length; y++)
            for (int x=0; x < a[y].length; x++)
                a[y][x] = 9;

        for (int y=0; y < a.length; y++)
        {
            for (int x=0; x < a[y].length; x++)
                System.out.print(a[y][x]+" ");
            System.out.println();
        }
        System.out.println();
