You could try a generic?

with Ada.Numerics.Long_Real_Arrays;
generic
   Rows : Positive;
package Nm_G is
   subtype R_Vector
     is Ada.Numerics.Long_Real_Arrays.Real_Vector (1 .. Rows - 1);
   type R_Matrix is array (1 .. Rows) of R_Vector;
end Nm_G;

with Ada.Text_Io; use Ada.Text_Io;
with Nm_G;
procedure Nm_Test is
   package Nm is new Nm_G (Rows => 3);
   use Nm;
   P : R_Matrix := ((42.0, 42.0), (43.0, 43.0), (44.0, 44.0));
   V : R_Vector := P (P'Last);
begin
   Put_Line ("v: " & V (V'First)'Img & ", " & V (V'Last)'Img);
end Nm_Test;
