There might not be 2^256 distinguishable objects but maybe someone can come up with 2^16 distinguishable objects and just string 16 of them together. If there is one character off in a string of 40 hexadecimal characters it is hard to notice but that would be easier to detect in a set of 16 symbols.

Memorizing order in a set of 16 similar objects is too difficult for me
I don't think you would need to memorize the order, just compare them side by side to check that they are the same.
If you have the other avatar available for comparison, you don't need to do so visually -- the computer can compare the raw bytes directly.
