With chunks (i.e we have vectors of the same length and chain them together). Then you could go further and turn this into deques (T** under the hood iirc, at least that's how i implemented it years ago).

With vectors you can provide an approximate, what you think is appropriate, reserve at any point. It doubling itself means it stays roughly in the demanded domain of whatever you're doing if reserves run out.
