Correct, I just copied pasted the length of the arrays, should be length = 
cid_length + encrypted_record.length.

The example was taken from draft-ietf-tls-tls13-27. If I understand correctly, 
It seems like the same circular definition is done there as well....

-----------------------------------------------------
      struct {
          ContentType opaque_type = application_data; /* 23 */
          ProtocolVersion legacy_record_version = 0x0303; /* TLS v1.2 */
          uint16 length;
          opaque encrypted_record[TLSCiphertext.length];
      } TLSCiphertext;
-----------------------------------------------------

Shouldn't this be...

-----------------------------------------------------
      struct {
          ContentType opaque_type = application_data; /* 23 */
          ProtocolVersion legacy_record_version = 0x0303; /* TLS v1.2 */
          uint16 length;
          opaque encrypted_record[encrypted_record.length];
      } TLSCiphertext;
-----------------------------------------------------

the length field? E.g.

    This defines length in terms of itself since length is TLSCiphertext.length.
