Probably users that have a demand for more than 30 arguments don't use
the FunctionWizard because they know what they are doing ;-P

But yes, from a first glance that looks like a quite easy EasyHack..
it's redefining VAR_ARGS from 30 to 255 at two places,
formula/source/ui/dlg/parawin.cxx and sc/inc/sc.hrc, and check that
everywhere where VAR_ARGS+x or PAIRED_VAR_ARGS are used the variable
type is of at least sal_uInt16 and not sal_uInt8.

As always, hidden details might be lurking to jump on you, for example
the PAIRED_VAR_ARGS cases may need special attention.
