This might sound stupid, but could you store N-1 entries, and then store a pointer to the next hash as the Nth entry? So you dynamically add fixed tables as you

This might sound stupid, but could you store N-1 entries, and then store a pointer to the next hash as the Nth entry? So you dynamically add fixed tables as you run out of space? Yes, I realize the lookup would get complicated.
