However, the lead to the problem, that I need more then 256 IP addresses

network with 255.255.127.0. and if the IP is e.g. 192.168.4.12, then the
IP range become automatically 192.168.4.0-192.168.5.255.

As someone already pointed out, this is a bogus netmask. I recommend sipcalc as a handy tool for figuring out network information:

sipcalc 192.168.4.0/23
