Hi there Steve... The lack of use of the arrays is probably a cost thing. Having looked at them before, I'm pretty sure that they are more expensive than the same number of individual caps. Incidentally, I have also noticed that going from 0805 to 0603 that there are fewer manufacturers making 0.1uf 0603, so I am assuming that it gets even worse for 0402.
