Yes, given that you really want your array to have length 1 :-)

By looking in a decent C grammar and discovering that postfixes bind
tighter than prefixes, in declarators as well as in expressions.

The same way. If you want pointers to arrays you must use parantheses:

sometype (*id)[LENGTH] ;

If you feel unsecure either way it's always legal to clarify what you
mean using parantheses. I.e. for your array of pointers:

NODE *(pnode[1]);
