Try this:

library(RcppArmadillo)
library(inline)
if( require( RcppArmadillo ) ){
        fx <- cxxfunction( signature(x = "vector", n = "integer") , '
                Rcpp::NumericVector XX(x);
                Rcpp::IntegerVector dim(n);
                arma::cube AY(XX.begin(), dim[0], dim[1], dim[2]);
                return(wrap(AY));
        ', plugin = "RcppArmadillo" )
}

set.seed(10)
x = array(rnorm(25*25*10), dim=c(25,25,10))
y = fx(x, c(25,25,10))
all.equal(x,y)

Yes. Nobody wrote such a converter. Maybe you and your student want to take a 
stab?

Array plus dim attribute may work.

I used arma::cube quite extensively in one project, but only at the C++ level
as a container. Results back to R were always of lesser dimension.
