I'm afraid this isn't possible, by design. Every variable in a Dataset sharing the same coordinate system is enforced as part of the xarray data model. This makes data analysis and comparison with a Dataset quite straightforward, since everything is already on the same grid.

For cases where you need different coordinate values and/or dimension sizes, your options are to either rename dimensions for different variables or use multiple Dataset/DataArray objects (Python has nice built-in data structures).

In theory, we could add something like an "UnalignedDataset" that supports most of the Dataset methods without requiring alignment but I'm not sure it's worth the trouble.
