I actually assume they are in matrix order and don't use the names. I am 
not too worried about scaling in Option files.

Yes, I have also done similar to the above in another application.  Yet 
another option (no pun intended) is to point to a data file and that 
also works well.

             <solverOption name="input_file_path" solver="bcp"
                 type="string" value="../../../../../../../data/"/>

I think that we can handle arrays without additional machinery.


cheers
