Please upgrade to the current bleeding-jumbo off GitHub. I've just
checked that there was indeed a limit of 15 for this format in
1.8.0-jumbo-1 (which is now 4 years old), and it's increased to 125 in
the current code. Additionally, even in 1.8.0-jumbo-1 there was a
higher limit in the OpenCL version of this format, so you could also use
that (ideally on a GPU) - but even then upgrading to the current code is
highly preferable.
I hope this helps.
