When you want to derive RESP charges, you could have two main limits:
- that in the QM program;
as you use Gaussian see http://www.gaussian.com/g_tech/g_ur/b_proglimits.htm
- that used in the fitting step.
We use an adapted RESP version by now (see
http://q4md-forcefieldtools.org/RED/resp/) and the boundaries (number
of constraints, no molecules etc..) for the fit have been pushed back.

Around 100 atoms for this type of complex is acceptable - when you use
HF or DFT; at least on our hardware ;-)
