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.
