Batched dataset map throws exception that cannot cast fixed length array to Sequence
Author: keesjandevries

### Describe the bug

I encountered a TypeError when batch processing a dataset with Sequence features in datasets package version 2.16.1. The error arises from a mismatch in handling fixed-size list arrays during the map function execution. Debugging pinpoints the issue to an if-statement in datasets/table.py, line 2093, failing to correctly process sequence lengths.

### Steps to reproduce the bug

Create virtual environment and activate
```
virtualenv venv
source venv/bin/activate
```

Then install the datasets package (I'm using the latest version)
```
pip install datasets==2.16.1
```

Then run
```python
# bug.py
from datasets import Dataset
from datasets.features import Features, Sequence, Value

data = {
    "num": [[1, 2], [3, 4]],
}
features = Features({'num': Sequence(feature=Value(dtype='int32'), length=2)})
dataset = Dataset.from_dict(data, features=features)
dataset.map(lambda x: x, batched=True, batch_size=1)
```

### Expected behavior

I get the following stack trace

```

Sequence(feature=Value(dtype='int32', id=None), length=2, id=None)

```

After some debugging, I found that the if-statement that is actually failing is line 2093 in `datasets/table.py`
```python
# datasets/table.py
                ...
2093                if feature.length * len(array) == len(array_values):
2094                    return pa.FixedSizeListArray.from_arrays(_c(array_values, feature.feature), feature.length)
                ...
```

### Environment info

Platform: MacOS
Datasets version: datasets==2.16.1
Python version: 3.9.6

Comments: Hi ! This issue has been fixed by https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/pull/6283

Can you try again with the new release 2.17.0 ?

```
pip install -U datasets
```



Amazing! It's indeed fixed now. Thanks!
