Why not just visualize the prmtop and inpcrd file directly in VMD? Why do
you need to go through a PDB file? If you must have a PDB file, perhaps
try cpptraj, but there are no guarantees such a large system is supported
in PDB format from this source, either.
Maybe try the original 20A buffer and see what the box dimensions are --
they may be large enough to allow free rotation (and, like Dave suggested,
a truncated octahedron may be a much better choice for you).
Good luck,
Jason
