Nope.  An assumed-size array dimension has to end with the assumed-implied-spec (i.e. the rightmost dimension is * or lower_bound:*).    In the syntax rule above, the assumed-implied-spec is PART of the syntax, not an alternative to the explicit-shape-spec-list.   For example, this is assumed-size:

dimension (10,30,*)

where the 10,30 is the explicit-shape-spec-list and the * is the assumed-implied-spec. 

Cheers,
Bill
