I don't know how much of this you already figured out, but

You shouldn't be thinking of it like that. You have only one value, which is the table.
Code:
local value = {34132, 70.5, 63.5, "scout"}
table.insert(coords, value)

If you're going to do stuff with a table very frequently there is another way of doing it than
ipairs, but for a single or just a few iterations there's really no reason to complicate things.
ipairs is fine.

Probably. Depends on how you want to treat those items.
