You have two choices: 
1) do the Thing Which Cannot Be Mentioned, or
2) stop trying to create functions with more than 8 arguments

PostgreSQL (at least for 6.5.x) had an 8-member array defined to hold
function arguments, and afaik it is a hard upper limit. Much easier to
do (1) than to try to recode the 6.5.x backend to accomodate it.
