Because the legacy VCS format was only supported during a time when there were no more than 128 tiles (= 256 RF inputs) plugged in at any one time, the quantity called vcs_order which defined the ordering of the tiles in the legacy .dat files is, strictly speaking, not defined for RF input indices >= 256. One downside of not defining vcs_order for extra inputs is that without such a definition, one cannot convert from the MWAX format to the legacy format.
Assuming this is a desirable feature to have, I propose extending the definition of vcs_order for cases when the number of RF inputs >= 256. Since the number of RF inputs need not be a multiple of 256, simply extending the same pattern as exists for < 256 would not be desirable. Instead, I propose simply adding the extra tiles onto the end of the array sequentially. This would turn the existing definition
