type T is array(1..10) of ...;

means the same as:

type T is array(Integer range 1..10) of ...;

which is a kludge.  I always write the latter (in the rare case where I
want Integer).  But you can say:

    type Index is range 1..Integer'Last + 1;
    type T is array(Index) of ...;
    X: T;

presuming System.Max_Int > Integer'Last,
and presuming you have enough memory to store the array.
