But there are theories that suggest much higher specific number of proton and neutron can achieve one of a number of possible, but hitherto unobserved, stable configurations in so called islands of stability far off the high end of the periodic table.......

The only problem is that most of those theories were all just made up for sci fi.

Off on a slight tangent, one might make a case that a neutron star is nothing more than a enormous atomic nucleus with a atomic number measured with about 50 zeros. So that would be one hell of an element.
