To take just one of your requests: The built-in lists in Mathematica are
of fixed length, although the elements themselves can be variables:
{a,b,c}
However, you can write patterns that describe lists of unknown length:
{a,b,c,___}
More generally, I suggest you step back a bit, and describe the actual
problem you are trying to solve.
