New function, ARESIZE(a,[r],[c]), same name, same arguments (can be omitted this time), same functionality, different approach.
[r]: new rows nr. ; [c]: new clms. nr.
As much as I like the first version of the formula, came out with a longer one that does not call any other lambda and adds some new tweaks:
-if r/c omitted, array not resized, only errors/blanks replaced with null strings.
-if only one of the r/c arguments is omitted, the function calculates the smallest other argument to accommodate all elements of initial array.
Excel Formula:
=LAMBDA(a,[r],[c],
    LET(x,ROWS(a),y,COLUMNS(a),t,x*y,z,ROUNDUP(IF(r,r,IF(c,t/c,x)),0),w,ROUNDUP(IF(c,c,IF(r,t/r,y)),0),
      s,SEQUENCE(z,w),q,QUOTIENT(s-1,y)+1,m,MOD(s-1,y)+1,
      IFERROR(INDEX(IF(a="","",a),q,m),"")
    )
)

ARESIZE, very handy when it comes to reshaping oversized arrays to fit certain regions of our spreadsheet's real estate, keeping the array sequential order of its elements.
AXMAS.xlsx
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUV
1Task. Reshape a wide array (the ornaments array for AXMAS function) keeping the left to right unicodes values in ascending order. Doing it manually is a hassle.
