The warning is valid since the current SMI/SNMP framework limits OIDs to 128 subidentifiers. Libsmi computes how many subidentifier are needed to encode the worst case length index components and generates a warning if that does not fit into the 128 subidentifier limit.
You can of course ignore the warning. But you want be able to use the full 255 octets with conforming SNMP implementations.
