I'm presuming you mean (( $#a == 2 * $#hash )) ... but that's not an
invariant in the first place.

    local -a a=( a 1 b 2 a 3 b 4 )
    local -A h=( $a )

Anwyay there are several special hashes that don't obey normal rules
for hashes (which is why they're special), but I will concede your
readability point.
