I am not sure how many IP addresses you are trying to add but isn't the /24 class a limiting factor here (as you seem to be using that)? It can only accommodate 256 addresses and it is the network limitation, not a kernel or tool limitation.

And if this is not the case you can always try to add dummy interface and attach more addresses there. Please note this may require some additional adjustments (like routing setup or proxy arp).
