FYI the upcoming version of cpptraj will have an additional option to
center the grid at a specific location (offset from the origin), which I
think will help in this situation.

No, grid does not currently have an option to do this. However, the
upcoming version of cpptraj will allow you to append to a previously
defined grid data set, so you should eventually be able to do this.
