Nope.  Use sc.  Even normal sc gives you 702 columns x 32K rows.

And with a hacked sc, nothing says you have to make it 2M x 12M and
make it eat into swap.  With a default allocation of 30 columns x 100
rows, increasing either to the new max only expands in that direction,
and it's usable.  For instance, I can easily work with a 2 million
row sheet x default 30 columns, or with 12 million columns x default
100 rows.  It's called flexibility.
