There should be an option to manually create a combination, or at least to uncheck automatically generated combinations so they don't get created when the save button is pressed.
I spent a large portion of yesterday tediously deleting unneeded combinations 1 at a time and today I have tried to add a new product that automatically generates 576 combinations, yet only about 100 of those combinations are needed. 500 combinations is the limit so I cannot even add the 576 combinations and then delete the 476 unneeded combinations.

I think the problem with that approach is how you manage that with the front end. Let's say you have two drop downs and each one has 23 items in it (giving you 529 options). If you start to delete combinations what you would really need to do is create cascading drop downs, so that as items were selected in drop down 1, all options in drop down 2 that do not match up with a combination would need to be removed and the logic does not exist (AFAIK) to achieve this.
We are always willing to help out the community or pitch in to help you fix a problem. However, if you want a complete solution made such as a code module or new feature added you have two options. Either
1) Reach out to the Kartris internal development team at http://www.kartris.com/Contact.aspx.
2) Contact one of the Kartris approved partners at http://www.kartris.com/t-Worldwide-Developers.aspx.
Have fun and good luck coding.

Generally I'd say if you're configuring something that is generating several hundred combinations, you're probably not needing combinations in the first place.
The point of combinations is to give an options interface, but add in stock tracking of individual permutations and a unique SKU. You might sell a t-shirt in four sizes and 3 colours for example, and keep stock of all of them.
But it's very unlikely you keep 500 slightly different items in stock, or that the manufacturer has allocated 500 or so slightly different SKUs for them. In such cases, an options product normally suffices.
But if you have a complex arrangement were only certain combinations of options are available then probably need to consider looking at custom product controls, which enable you to do virtually anything.
