I believe Data.Binary includes a header with the data it serializes. In consequence, the second and all following arrays will be invisible. [Apologies for Jason for sending this twice to him]
I didn't check the Binary instance for arrays, however I belive it's not true. Consider Binary instances for tuples: instance (Binary a, Binary b) => Binary (a,b) where put (a,b) = put a >> put b get = liftM2 (,) get get instance (Binary a, Binary b, Binary c) => Binary (a,b,c) where put (a,b,c) = put a >> put b >> put c get = liftM3 (,,) get get get If what you are saying would be true, the tuple instances would be incorrect for array tuples.
