I don't know if this is exactly what you're looking for, but when I need to
import a table from an office document, I usually create a new table the
same size in LyX, then copy-paste the data. This works as long as you use
paste special (or ctrl+shift v). I am not personally aware of a tool that
does more than this, but they may exist.

I hope this helps.

Normally, lyx2lyx failure is not a problem of length. Maybe there is a
problematic character in the later parts.

You could try dividing the table and import/convert in blocks.

You coula also call the involved programs (csv2lyx and lyx2lyx) manually in
a console window and look for the error messages.

Would you mind to send me the original file privately. I have been fixing all 
interaction between lyx2lyx and other converters and I am interested why this 
fails in this case.

Problem solved: There was an apostrophe (') that had been converted to a 
weird character when Excel saved the file (Excel for Mac, it seems, only 
has the options of Windows 
format or MS-DOS format, both incompatible with Mac). After removing that, 
it converted correctly. So, it was Excel's problem, although the error
message from LyX was not informative.
