No, I don't see attachment :P

With a running from 0 to 398, this should be 399*2 = 798 (because you use 399
distinctive values for a)...

.... and there should be some modulus operations in the vector building
statements, so wherever you have b+1, you should really have mod(b+1,800).

POV-Ray expects less vectors in the face_indices block than you supplied.
