Requesting of AUX RRC data issue

[santilland]

It seems in some cases it might come to an error when loading an AUX RRC product:

<ows:Exception locator="ValueError" exceptionCode="NoApplicableCode">
    <ows:ExceptionText>all the input array dimensions except for the concatenation axis must match exactly</ows:ExceptionText>
  </ows:Exception>

Example product with issue:
AE_OPER_AUX_RRC_1B_20190909T181547_20190909T183159_0001

The issue is the field geoid_separation_obs, which seems to provide a list of arrays in a variable length. This comes from this unserlying XML structure:

...
          <List_of_Frequency_Step_Geolocations count="41">
            <Frequency_Step_Geolocation>
 ...
              <List_of_Geoid_Separations count="3">
                <Geoid_Separation unit="m">-36.311287</Geoid_Separation>
                <Geoid_Separation unit="m">-37.256656</Geoid_Separation>
                <Geoid_Separation unit="m">-38.593101</Geoid_Separation>
              </List_of_Geoid_Separations>
            </Frequency_Step_Geolocation>
            <Frequency_Step_Geolocation>
...
              <List_of_Geoid_Separations count="2">
                <Geoid_Separation unit="m">-38.697521</Geoid_Separation>
                <Geoid_Separation unit="m">-38.889617</Geoid_Separation>
              </List_of_Geoid_Separations>
            </Frequency_Step_Geolocation>
...

Thus the numpy.vstack fails. I'm not sure what the expected output/result should be in this case.
