The 
block
type already has to be within an array, and you can’t have an array of arrays in Sanity. Instead you could wrap the 
block
in an object and put this inside of an array, as follows:
blockObject.js

export default {
    title: "Block",
    name: "blockObject",
    type: "object",
    fields: [
        {
            title: "Block Text",
            name: "blockText",
            type: "array",
            of: [{ type: "block" }],
        },
    ],
};
exampleDocument.js

export default {
    name: "Example Document",
    title: "exampleDocument",
    type: "document",
    fields: [
        {
            title: "Block Array",
            name: "blockArray",
            type: "array",
            of: [{ type: "blockObject" }],
        },
    ],
};
