Unfortunately I believe the caveat to that article applies here:

"One caveat: a bug in IDL (as I see it) limits the practical concatenation dimension to 3, even though up to 8 dimensions are supported (i.e. only two pairs of extra brackets are allowed per entry... sorry no [[[[[[[a]]]]]]] permitted). You'll need higher magic if you use 8 dimensional datasets anyway. "

I guess what I was really asking was what this "higher magic" was.
