My receiving function is as follows:

local receive = function(timeout)
  modem.open(channel)
  local _, _, _, _, message, distance = os.pullEvent("modem_message")
  return message, distance
end

I am wanting to receive a dynamic amount of messages within the timeout duration, and then save the messages and distances that are returned into a table for later use.

Assuming for now that you've already got some idea as to how you're going to set up your table:

Instead of specifically pulling "modem_message" events, pull all events, and then check to see which type they are - this will allow you to have the function return once a timer expires.
