No, you can't.

Typically, for an array of N myprot.ufield values, they just put each one
in as a myprot.ufield value, perhaps using proto_tree_add_XXX_format() so
that each one could be tagged with the instance number.

It might be useful to have a call to do the tagging for you; no such call
currently exists.
