I've been kinda following this, and it leaves me with a question: Can a
PDS even exist beyond track 65535? The directory entries are 0TTR, not
TTTR, right?

Yes, a PDS can exist beyond track 65535. The 0TTR value in the
directory is relative to the begining of the dataset, not the volume.
It doesn't look like a pds can be larger than 65535 tracks however.

Victory in defeat, there is none higher. She didn't give up, Ben;
she's still trying to lift that stone after it has crushed her.
She's a father going down to a dull office job while cancer is
painfully eating away his insides, so as to bring home one more pay
check for the kids. She's a twelve-year-old girl trying to mother her
baby brothers and sisters because Mama had to go to Heaven. She's a
switchboard operator sticking to her job while smoke is choking her
and the fire is cutting off her escape. She's all the unsung heroes
who couldn't quite cut it but never quit.*
