Jason, Having 59 stripes will not solve your problem.
If any of the stripes needs to extend to a new volume then you will still get an E37. Using a wider stripe simply means you have a better chance of getting many, small primary allocations: it does not resolve the problem. The way to resolve this has already been mentioned. You must allocate the primary space to be greater than or equal to the required size of the dataset. In addition you should remove striped datasets from any primary space reduction rules so that the primary allocation is not neutered at the get go. For striped, sequential data sets the secondary extents should rarely be required. If you see you are getting more than two or three extents beyond the primary space request then you should increase the primary space requested.
