Yes i did thought to write it out.
So, this would mean, the changes are only to 'insert' two empty (as in contains '0') colums replacing colum 3 to (max colums - 2), and append those columns (3 to 2 less than maxium) at the end?

But with 200k columns... sorry.

Nevermind, untested, but it might work:
Code:
TMP=$$.tmp
printf "awk '{print \$1, \$2, "0", "0", \$9, \$10," > $TMP
for(i=3;i<=8;i++) { printf ", \$$i" >> $TMP ; } 
printf "}' input-file > output-file" >> $TMP

exec $TMP
