I can't because the second dimension of the array isn't fix.
I could have between 2 and 6 elements per row... to create a dual dimension
array I would have to add NULL entries like that:

#define MAX_TRIGGERS 6

static const void *triggers_table[][MAX_TRIGGERS] = {
{ TIM1_TRGO, TIM1_CH1, TIM1_CH2, TIM1_CH3, TIM1_CH4, NULL,},
{ TIM2_TRGO, TIM2_CH1, TIM2_CH2, TIM2_CH3, TIM2_CH4, NULL,},
{ TIM3_TRGO, TIM3_CH1, TIM3_CH2, TIM3_CH3, TIM3_CH4, NULL,},
{ TIM4_TRGO, TIM4_CH1, TIM4_CH2, TIM4_CH3, TIM4_CH4, NULL,},
{ TIM5_TRGO, TIM5_CH1, TIM5_CH2, TIM5_CH3, TIM5_CH4, NULL,},
{ TIM6_TRGO, NULL,     NULL,     NULL,     NULL,     NULL,},
{ TIM7_TRGO, NULL,     NULL,     NULL,     NULL,     NULL,},
{ TIM8_TRGO, TIM8_CH1, TIM8_CH2, TIM8_CH3, TIM8_CH4, NULL,},
{ TIM9_TRGO, TIM9_CH1, TIM9_CH2, NULL,     NULL,     NULL,},
{ TIM12_TRGO, TIM12_CH1, TIM12_CH2, NULL,  NULL,     NULL,},
};
