Having read your problem again I don't think namespaces would help.

I think this is what you are looking for (UNTESTED!) :

class c{
    enum {size = 5};
    static const char sz[size] = "Text";
};

Consider using C++ strings instead of C strings, and vectors instead
of arrays, they have many advantages and your problem would probably
be a non-issue if you went this route.  Consider also my previous
suggestion if this is not enough.
