Do you want to initialize with the default value of Node? Then it is as easy as the following:

import std.stdio;

struct Node
{}

void main()
{
    Node[2][3] a;       // fixed-length of fixed-length
    Node[][] b = new Node[][](2, 3);  // slice of slice

    writeln(a);
    writeln(b);
}

The output:

[[Node(), Node()], [Node(), Node()], [Node(), Node()]]
[[Node(), Node(), Node()], [Node(), Node(), Node()]]

Please note the different meanings of 2 and 3 for the fixed-length array and the new expression: lines and rows are swapped!
