But then all your vectors have to be of the same length even though you could use that type just as well for any vector with a length up to MaxV.

This is why you need to abstract the type and export PVECTOR or better TYPE Vector; opaque from a DEFINITION MODULE.

I would rather put that array declaration into a record type and add a length field.

TYPE Vector = POINTER TO RECORD

  length : CARDINAL;

  values : ARRAY [1..MaxV] OF REAL

END; (* Vector *)

Statically declared, dynamically allocated, dynamically bounded.

Yes. I was just commenting on YOUR code, not mine.

This way you can use it for vectors of different sizes as long as the length doesn't exceed MaxV.

PS: All uppercase identifiers should probably be avoided ;-)
