That's an Excel question, it has nothing to do with Python.

Have you considered using something other than Excel? As I understand it, 
OpenOffice, LibreOffice, and Gnumeric do not have a 256 column limit. 
Gnumeric is Linux-only, but the other two are available for Windows and 
Mac, and they are all free, open source software, and they all will read 
and write Excel spreadsheets.
