I am trying my luck on Puzzle 135 and came across this program. After reading the README documentation, I learned that this program is limited to a 125-bit interval. What does this mean? Do we need to chunk the starting and ending hex?If we do, there will be around 512 hex chunks to cover the $2^{134}$ keyspace.

Chunk 1:Starting hex = 4000000000000000000000000000000000Ending hex = 401fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
Chunk 2:Starting hex = 4020000000000000000000000000000000Ending hex = 403fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
...
Chunk N:Starting hex = 7fe0000000000000000000000000000000Ending hex = 7fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

Should I use an alternative program like KANGAROO-256 for Puzzle 135 to cover the whole hex range from 400... to 7ff... in a single instance?
