i broke that huge view into a bunch of smaller ones successfully, but the
top view which pulled together 2 smaller views (which each pulled together
smaller parts,etc), and i got the same error.  it seems to still get hung
up on the number of columns the view was returning, so i had to drop a few
of the less useful columns to get it to create the view successfully.
