Pass a string as a varchar of sufficient length and write a procedure
that's called within your procedure to parse out the individual
values successively in a loop.

In DSQL you can't (yet) of course pass a list as a replaceable
parameter (although there has recently been Big Architectural Talk
about implementing something along these lines in Fb 2 +. If you
decide to write a SP, you would invoke the SP as
select blah, blah1, etc... from MySP(:list_as_a_varchar)
- meaning you still need to construct the list in your client code.

So - it is "doable". It's moot whether you would actually gain a
speed advantage but it might meet your expectations in terms of simplification.
