Florian Weimer added the comment:

OpenSSL supports only a single wildcard character.

In my tests, I used a host name like 
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.example.org, and a dNSName like 
a*a*a*a*a*a*a*a*a*a*a*a*a*a*a*a*a*a*a*a*a*a*a*a*a*.example.org.  Quadratic 
behavior wouldn't be too bad because the host name is necessarily rather short 
(more than 255 characters will not pass through DNS).
