I can't give you code that I know for a fact will work given the text is so huge that it's too many elements for an array.
If it's large to the point that you're trying to cram things in two-by-two into multiple shell variables to make it fit, it's a subtle hint, written in mile-high flashing neon letters, that it's a bad idea to try and load enormous amounts of text into a shell variable. You should approach the problem from another direction instead of trying to load it whole. That's how shell code usually works. It also makes for code that works in other shells, not just yours. Someone who wrote this for BASH would not have your problem and might not imagine it could ever cause you trouble...
So again, why do you want it in an array? What are you actually trying to do? Not the way you're hellbent on doing so -- the actual goal of having the data in an array.

expect_expectl
EXPECT_EXPECTL(3) 1 EXPECT_EXPECTL(3)
expect_expectl - Waits until the output from a process matches one of the patterns, a specified time period has passed, or anEOFis seen
SYNOPSIS
int expect_expectl (resource $expect, array $cases, [array &$match])
DESCRIPTION
Waits until the output from a process matches one of the patterns, a specified time period has passed, or an EOF is seen.
If $match is provided, then it is filled with the result of search. The matched string can be found in $match[0]. The match substrings
(according to the parentheses) in the original pattern can be found in $match[1], $match[2], and so on, up to $match[9] (the limitation of
libexpect).
PARAMETERS
o $expect
- An Expect stream, previously opened with expect_popen(3).
o $cases
- An array of expect cases. Each expect case is an indexed array, as described in the following table:

+----------+--------------------------+---+---+---+
RETURN VALUES

array("password:", "asked for password"),

);
while (true) {

");
break;
case "asked for yes/no":
