Primary signalling, but I prefer opt. 3

Noted.

The Number of values must be U64 too as my tag might describe an additional value for every pixel of the image. And as the image can be 4gig. this array will too.

Shouldn't an extra channel be used to encode this data, instead of a tag? The mechanisms for the encoding of the raster is already there, outside of the tag mechanism. Otherwise, sooner or later, you'll end up wanting to tile/strip your tag data and whatnot.
