I too do not understand what you mean by this.

I told you on the R-help mailing list that what you could do is to 

- write a subroutine that calculates the required dimension given your 
parameters; you can do this within R code.
- allocate in R (or C) a matrix/vector/.. with the required dimension.
- call your Fortran subroutine(s) with the allocated matrix/vector

There are several packages, as I replied before on the R help list,  that do 
this (from within an R function or a C function).
