In moode 9 all possible netmasks are listed in the dropdown starting with 255.255.255.255.
My thinking around static addresses is that specifying one is pretty technical to begin with and so things like the netmask, gateway, and DNS would be known and set correctly but maybe 255.255.255.0 should be listed as 255.255.255.0 (Default) in the dropdown and be the displayed default ??
Either way there probably should be some sort of warning or brief explanation that the user has to confirm the correctness of whatever value they use.
I suspect that most home routers allocate 256 addresses to the LAN subnet but certainly mine can be configured differently.
