[I don't see how something with a 1024 column limit is one answer for
a requirement of 1440 columns.]
IMO, if 256 columns isn't enough, then a spreadsheet probably isn't
the right tool. If you need 1440 columns then I can't even imagine a
case where a spreadsheet is the right tool.
I've seen people spend weeks trying to do something with excel that
would have taken a few hours using Numpy/Scipy/Scientific-Python.
