Error: “extra alignment tab has been changed to \cr” in pmatrix environment

Trying to compile the matrix with 16 columns:

$$ \begin{pmatrix} 1&0&0&0& 0&0&0&0& 0&1&0&0& 0&0&0&0 \\ 0&0&0&0& 1&0&0&0& 0&0&0&0& 0&1&0&0 \\ 0&0&1&0& 0&0&0&0& 0&0&0&1& 0&0&0&0 \\ 0&0&0&0& 0&0&1&0& 0&0&0&0& 0&0&0&1 \end{pmatrix} $$

produced following error:

./document.tex:750: Extra alignment tab has been changed to \cr. \endtemplate l.750 1&0&0&0& 0&0&0&0& 0&1& 0&0& 0&0&0&0 \\

It appears that LaTeX has some internal limitation on default maximal number of columns. This can be changed (accoring to
http://newsgroups.derkeiler.com/Archive/Comp/comp.text.tex/2006-06/msg01298.html
) by setting

\setcounter{MaxMatrixCols}{16}

in the preamble of the document.
