Overcoming subsearch truncation

I do not have any admin privilege in my Splunk instance and cannot change any configuration.

Need to search an index for any value matching what's in a lookup file. The problem is the file contains 130K records and I get a maxout truncation at 10K. How do I overcome this?

If you plan to tell me to split it up into 10K files, please don't.

index="bro"
   [ inputlookup bad_domains
   | fields domain ]
|stats values(domain) by _time

| inputlookup bad_domains
| eval flag="csv"
| append [search  index="bro"
| stats values(domain) as domain by _time
| eval flag="index"]
| stats dc(flag) as flag values(_time) as _time by domain
| where flag > 1
| table _time domain

search huge one first.
