Hi Pauline:
Netcdf-4 extended model has "enumeration types" for this purpose, if you
dont need to stick with classic model.
see eg:

Dear All,
I am developing a grid file that uses a flag that potentially has up
to 8000 different meanings (it references the provenance of the data
populating a given grid cell). Is there any alternative to
documenting this in flag_value and flag_meaning?'
Any advise on this would be really helpful.
Thanks in advance.
