I already have a patch from Ian that bumps this further:

[acme@five perf]$ git log -p tools/perf/util/expr.h
commit 26d3350db3e4668c1b1ff7f81c419afe71a2e8d9
Author: Ian Rogers <irogers@xxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Fri May 1 10:33:26 2020 -0700

perf expr: Increase max other

Large metrics such as Branch_Misprediction_Cost_SMT on x86 broadwell
need more space.
