It is clear why the exception happens - the formula consists of a very long
array that doesn't fit in the NameRecord and the array's tail is stored in a
ContinueRecord. But I don't understand how this array was saved. 
I tried to reproduced it in Excel 2003 and Excel 2007 with no luck. 

The length of a Excel formula is limited to 1024 characters, Excel silently
truncates longer strings. You can't input an array of 696 elements in the Name
dialog.

I tried to set such a long array via VBA but it didn't work either. Excel
truncates long VBA arrays to 256 values. Try to run the attached vbs script
that I used for testing. 

To apply the proposed fix we need a test case - either a sample file or a
description how to create it. Without additional info this bug will stay as
"needinfo"

Regards,
Yegor
