Simple example/template for a (matrix based, if possible) schematic pcell

One of the most severe shortcomings of Virtuoso is the lack of support to parameterize matrix structures. For example, I have an array 50x100 sub circuits that I implement in array notation on two levels (first I1<1:100> and then I array this again as I2<1:50>). But now I need to parameterize each of these in a certain way and surprisingly this is not possible, according to posts I found here.

Only way seem to be schematic pcells. I have quite some experience in Cadence Virtuoso but not SKILL. It feels so hard to get started with the schematic cells. All information I find just show code fractions and I don't even know where to put them and how to create an actual pcell.

Is there some simple "Hello World" schematic pcell (including how to add it to my library and how to include it in a test schematic) that I can use as a template and extend?

Is there possibly even a template for this use case, i.e., taking an arbitrary existing cell and creating a dynamic matrix out of it?
