Is it possible to add one array to another in ICE?

I'm collecting the weight values for the neighbouring points of each
point on a mesh so that I can 'blur' them together and feed the blurred
output to a new map but I want to extend the convolution matrix to
include the neighbouring points of the neighbouring points i.e.
ultimately have a user-selected size for the blur matrix. Is it possible
to add the array of weights for the first set of neighbouring points to
the array of weights for the neighbours of those neighbours? I've tried
Push and Insert but they'll only work on single scalar values...

The tree I have so far looks like this:

...but I can't figure out how to combine the two arrays of weight values.

If anyone has some pointers, they'd be hugely welcome. I'm sure it's
possible but maybe not in as direct a way as say, Python's extend
function...

The scene file I'm working on is here:

you should be able to use the BuildArray node to append arrays.

cheers.
