Maybe try changing your residue template for your polymer building block...
The tleap sequence functionality is very simplistic (and therefore limited)
-- you can look into some of the commands to adjust structure (like
'impose', I believe) -- the GLYCAM folks have done some very clever things
getting tleap to build carbohydrates, but it is not easy (at least it's not
easy for me).

You may be better off trying to build your structure elsewhere (or put a
good deal of effort into learning how to 'really' use tleap).
