XLS file format has a hard limit of 256 columns (A = 0 ... IV = 255) but the library does not enforce the constraint. In light of common row limit errors like https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-54423988 , the best fix is to truncate with warning or error when trying to write beyond the limits.
The file can still be repaired because the col
field of the Cell
structure is 2 bytes wide. The file can technically support up to XFD (column 65535) but the Excel parser will fail.

- Which office version?
- Which OS?
- Download Libreoffice, open the file with Libreoffice, save the file and try again.
- Which software created the original XLS file?

Yes, I feel it is the limitation of XLS.
