Where's the architect?

Who is the person that modeled the (today and future) capacity - and thought that 256Gb tables were adequate? Obviously in 2006 the tables were not this big and things ran fine until 2008 when the tables started exceeding this threshold.

Nothing works like a well architected project with milestones and "gate" reviews. The capacity "issue" should have been discussed and the 256Gb limitation would have to have been agreed upon.

In any event, if the system was working "fine" for 2 years - then the "soundness" of the design was "proven". Although upgrades can be messy, this looks like a simple upgrade would fix the issue. And as anyone that has EVER talked with a support tech - the "upgrade" issue ALWAYS comes up. "What version are you running? Hmm, I would recommend that you upgrade ...".
