I routinely make index arrays that have millions, and tens of millions
of elements. [ with IDL 5.2 at that! ] This should not be a problem
for you. Are you sure you have enough memory? You will probably need
a fair amount of working space (perhaps 2x your biggest array) for IDL
to function properly.
