Unfortunately you need to define your own message type for that. So far we only support publishing a single 
pcl::PointCloud<T> type.

In general, if you have a message Foo.msg and you want to send an array of Foo, you need to declare another message 
Bar.msg, which has "Foo[] foo" inside.

Cheers,
Radu.
