Description

### What happens?

When there is an empty column in the sheet, duckdb stops at that column.

### To Reproduce

Code:
```
import duckdb

print(
duckdb.sql(
"SELECT * FROM read_xlsx('D:/test.xlsx', all_varchar=true, header=false, stop_at_empty=false, ignore_errors = true);"
).fetchall()
)
```

Content of `D:/test.xlsx`:
| | A | B | C |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | X | | |
| 2 | | | |
| 3 | | | X |

Result:
`[('X',), (None,)]`

Expected:
`[('X', None, None), (None, None, None), (None, None, X)]`, or at least `[('X',), (None,), (None,)]`
