    array (
        'menu_primary' => 'Primary 1',
        'menu_secondary' => array( 'Secondary 1', 'Secondary 2', 'Secondary N' ),
    ),

You can use for loop and add the key of primary to [] instead.

<?php foreach($array as $menu_arrays): ?>
    <?php foreach($menu_arrays as $pri_key => $menu_array): ?>

        <!-- Primary Menu -->
        <input type='text' name='front_page_options_settings[menu_primary][<?php echo $key; ?>]' value='<?php echo $menu_array['menu_primary']?>'>

        <!-- Secondary Menu -->
        <?php foreach($menu_secondary as $sec_key => $secondary): ?>
        <input type='text' name='front_page_options_settings[menu_primary][<?php echo $key; ?>][]' value='<?php echo $secondary; ?>'>
        <?php endforeach;?>
    <?php ?>
<?php ?>

You can just remove the echo in value if you don't want it. For getting the of array inputs. You can refer to this Html/PHP - Form - Input as array
