.idata is the initialized data section. The error message indicates that there are more variables than can fit into the default section. One solution is to use #pragma idata "section name" ahead of groups of initialized variables. Each group must use 256 or fewer bytes of memory. XC8 may automatically take care of this (compiler generated psect).
