That doesn't mean you should over expose the whole roll next time. I just means you need to develop more and expose correctly. Again I'll recommend giving 1600asa a shot with Neopan 1600. Unless you're meter's way off it would work with enough development. The film is no way underrated I've used it for over a decade. I'm one who feels it's a shame to over expose film. Especially 35mm film.
