Description:
Currently, column count is encoded using Variable-Length Encoding. This is different from
the net encoding used elsewhere, and will also require two bytes for widths larger than
128.

How to repeat:
Check code.

Suggested fix:
Replace the VLE encoding with net encoding. The encoding is identical for numbers below
128, but is different above that.
