I don't think so --- consider redesigning your data model instead.
For instance, maybe you could combine similar columns into an array.
Or split the table into an m:n linking structure. Even coming close
to that implementation limit suggests bad SQL design; if we thought
it was a realistic problem we would have increased it long ago...
