Say I have some code like this:

              }
          }
      }
}

and I have the cursor somewhere on the humbug line. If I want
to select the whole lot, to the very outer block, ie.
everything from 'sub {' to its closing brace, I can do 'v4a{'.
However, that requires me knowing how many blocks I'm inside.
Doing something like 'v9a{' doesn't select anything.
Naturally, 'vap' doesn't work because of the blank line. Is
there a 'to outer-est block' sequence?

You might try

  vnoremap <f4> V99[{o99]}

where "99" stands in for "sufficient levels of nesting". I was surprised that "99a{" didn't behave as you (and I would) expect.
