To make it more manageable, crop it down to a tiny size. say 10 x 10 pix
Use the align tool to spread those out into a strip.
Fix the image using Image -> Fit canvas to layers
Now you can use the palettes context menu to make a new palette.

A quick demo: https://i.imgur.com/ZsIN3IV.mp4  only using 19 layers but the same for your 184

Hi Rich2005,
Thank you again for sharing your expertise. I've never used Gimp's offset tool. How pretty my palette looked like that. And it did create the palette.

A problem I did run into (aside from the original one), is that when I tried to rearrange the palette colors by moving them within the palette, the colors duplicated instead of moving. Do you know why?

Have a good day Rich2005,
