However, the actual Viewer limit is 255 for each type: 255 windows, 255 panes, and 255 popups. If you wish to define more windows, panes, and popups than Project Editor will allow, edit the .MVP file without using Project Editor.

(README.TXT) Section names specified in an MCI [sections] option or section file should have no more than 40 characters to ensure the section name fits when the title is viewed on a low-resolution display.
