[IDV #XSG-769306]: VisAD maximum columns

Hi Brian-

The class is probably the visad.data.vis5d.V5DStruct class which is
what reads in the Vis5D file.  In particular, the following params
are defined:

  /** Limit on 5-D grid rows */
  private static final int MAXROWS = 400;

  /** Limit on 5-D grid columns */
  private static final int MAXCOLUMNS = 400;

which was taken from v5d.h.  If you can send me the changes you make
in Vis5D, I'll look at rolling them back into the core VisAD reader.
A quick scan says that these values are only checked against what is
read from the file and there are no arrays that are pregenerated using
these sizes.  If that's the case, then there should be no problem 
changing these values.  I'll check with authors just to make sure.
