Just to make sure we are all in the same page here.
You can (and should!) equilibrate in NPT before starting the NVT REMD.
However, ALL replicas MUST have the same box size! (this is true for
Amber's implementation).
What this means is that you SHOULD NOT do NPT for each replica
separately, followed by NVT remd.
