You could try a very low number which should give you a "No matching }"
error.

As you've seen, if you use a high number, you get "Insufficient number
of initialisers".

You could then try a binary chop to search for the actual number of
entries.


What might be happening is that you've got some negative numbers. POV
treats
        123
        -2
as an expression that evaluates to 121 if there are no commas.

If that's the case, then you can globally replace "-" with ",-" in a
copy of the data file.
