Because such an index would result in an invalid instance OID. >From RFC 2578 - Section 3.5: ----- 3.5. OBJECT IDENTIFIER values An OBJECT IDENTIFIER value is an ordered list of non-negative numbers. For the SMIv2, each number in the list is referred to as a sub-identifier, there are at most 128 sub-identifiers in a value.... ------ In fact, it's likely that index values shorter than 127 subidentifiers will still result in an invalid instance OID, depending on the length of the OID of the base column objects. But that's harder to test for automatically.
