Fine point of compile-time arrays

Anybody know if it's possible to define a compile-time array (or in my case, an alternating pair of compile-time arrays) so that the total length of an element (or element pair) is over 100 bytes, so long as the initializers in the CTDATA block are under 100 bytes? 

On a more concrete level, suppose you have

  D FOO        S           5S 0 DIM(66) PERRCD(1) CTDATA
  D BAR        S          97A   DIM(66) ALT(FOO)
which would produce a combined length of 102 bytes. Anybody know whether the compiler would accept that, so long as it's never necessary to initialize more than the first 95 bytes of BAR?
