Probably not the reply you want to hear, but: Use objects and your life 
will be easier. Using array as wrappers for structural data is a common 
thing to do (in the PHP world that is) but it is very error prone and 
hard to comprehend & extend.

If you use a proper model (and that can be just a DTO[1]) your template 
could look something like:

<f:for each="{calendar.weeks}" as="week">
   <ul class="week">
     <f:for each="{week.tasks}" as="task">
       <li class="task">
         {task.name}
       </li>
   </ul>
</f:for>

Rather than some complex nesting of ViewHelpers.

If you write a bit more about your intention we might be able to help 
you defining the object(s) that represent your domain.
