Possibly what is causing issue: '0' position is not being used. If the container has 32,768 positions going from 0 through 32,767 and you skip the 0 position, you have only 32,767 usable positions.

I would test by attempting to fill a 33x31x32 area (32,736 blocks) and also a 151x31x7 area (32,767 blocks). Just trying different areas and seeing exactly how close you can get will help reveal how large the container really is.

90x28x13=32,760
32x32x31=31,744
32x32x16=16,384
31x33x16=16,368
