IIRC, that limit is directly related to block size in the header, so
one possible fix is to increase block size. AFAIK anything up to 64K
blocks should be safe.
BTW, keep in mind that if you're storing anything that's a varlena
(anything that's variable length, including NUMBER) where you have
that many columns, every single varlena is going to end up toasted.
That's bound to have a *serious* performance impact.
