The only circumstance in which this is handled in 8 bits is network transmission, which can be changed by modifying delta.lst. That's what it's there for. Surprise or no surprise, it's not hard coded in the engine and the engine will happily handle as many sequences as you like. You should be able to witness this personally within a few days; DoD 2.0 will have > 256 sequences.
