AFAIK, it's opposite: an array serialized in chunks, and they are

elements you're sending, so you send them in finite chunks as the data
becomes available. Client can also close connection, so you don't have
to see the end of the sequence.

The "packed repeated fields" section explains it and breaks it down with
an example. If the client can close like that, you probably don't want
to use packed.
