Yes, I have to admit, no arrays yet. It should be no big problem to
implement them. For big arrays, there might be problems with memory usage -
as VOP tries to save _time_ by not executing a POV-Ray script line by line,
it may waste some "space" (i.e., memory) by having to keep multiple copies
of a variable around - maybe some special optimisation would be necessary
for big arrays.
How do you use arrays in your scenes? I realize they can be useful, but I
never needed them for my own scenes.

Yes, that should be possible. I have already thought of that, but I had no
particular interest in any particular file format. All that's needed is an
exact specification of a file format and a viewer program to try it out.
Just like VOP itself, the converter would support no textures, however.
Is there any particular file format that you think I should put on my "TODO"
list?
